A total of one hundred and twelve students of the Ebonyi State school of health technology, Ngbo in Ohaukwu Local Government Area have been demoted over examination fraud.
The break down showed that 36 of the students demoted from final year to second year, while 76 students were demoted from third year to second year.
The students were said to have failed their Ordinary National Diploma (OND) examinations but were allowed to move to the next class. Confirming the development, the Principal of the School, Mr. Emmanuel Okoro, said he made the discovery on assumption of office as the new Principal.
He added that it was in the process of repositioning the institution that he discovered the fraud.
“Students who failed some courses in their 200 level were already in 300 and 400 levels when I came in. But we are bringing them down to where they are supposed to be because in a course like Environment Health Technology, you do it for two years and then get certificate for Ordinary National Diploma.”
