14 Apr 2025 - 3:59 pmIt’s sad to still see that a lot of students are still involved in Examination malpractice in the country.
However, seeing there’s a decrease from the record last year, it’s a good improvement.
But I really hope there’s something that can be done to permanently remove the malpractices.
In another way, kudos to those who passed without involving in malpractice.
