Lack of technology and expertise to detect forged education certificates have enabled unscrupulous students to falsify their credentials.
This has been stated by a senior official of Kange Teachers College, Mr Boniface Mbwambo, when he briefed journalists on reports that 64 students from three teachers colleges in Tanga Region, have been barred from
sitting this year's grade III teachers' examinations..
Mr Mbwambo said his college had registered 1,049 students for the on-going examinations of whom 42 had been disqualified by the National Examinations Council of Tanzania for various irregularities spotted on their certificates.
He pointed out that his college does not condone cheats, adding that during the past two years it has confiscated 15
|
forged certificates before expelling students involved.
According to last week's press reports, the college was among three others in Tanga whose students were disqualified to sit for the seasonal exams.
A Kiswahili tabloid quoted Tanga regional commissioner Mohamed Abdulaziz as saying 64 students from Eckenerford, Kange and Arafa teachers colleges, had been barred from sitting grade lllA examinations this year.
