“My heart is filled with joy. The reputation of Christ the king College was at stake, but thank God that the GCE Board did the necessary verifications and has uplifted the ban on our Students”. The Education Secretary of the Diocese of Buea Rev. Fr. Vincent Mesue expressed these words of relief with regards to the GCE Ban uplifted from 30 students of Christ the King College Tiko; 27 A’Level students and 3 O’Level students.
These students were banned by the Cameroon GCE Board for alleged examination malpractices during the 2023 examination session. According to the Principal of Christ the King College Tiko (CKC TIKO) Rev. Sr. Edith Itor, it is a moment of joy for the college, its students and its parents. Rev. Sr. Edith Itor Noted that “ I am happy that the GCE Board has been objective in revisiting the results on an individual bases because students should not be judged as a group but as individuals. The GCE Board has looked at the results and cancelled the subjects identified with examination malpractices. Our students have all passed and we have 100%”.
It is worthy to note that the Cameroon General Certificate of Education Board, sanctioned close to 2,000 candidates for examination malpractices during the 2023 session of examinations organized by the Board.
It is no doubt that this sanction demoralized affected colleges, students as well as parents. Nevertheless, these students especially are expected to pick up the broken pieces and forge ahead while paying attention to the dangers of examination malpractices and other unlawful practices that may ruin their lives.
