Ibrahim Sheriff Communication Specialist at the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education once said the quality of education in Sierra Leone over the past decades has continued to degenerate to the point where the trend seriously undermines the human capacity development of the country. Key to the degeneration is how much almost every facet of Sierra Leonean society participates in examination malpractices: pupils, students, teachers, lecturers, professors, examination officers, parents, police and son on

The committee according to Mr. Momoh was investigating 30 students but only 21 were found wanting of examination malpractices, noting that the committee has recommended for the students to be rusticated for 1 and 2 years respectively.

The initiative of the institution to have CCTV cameras in lecture rooms and examination halls needs emulation by other universities to eradicate the issues of examination malpractices in their universities and country.
