Say No to “Special Centres”: A Call for Ethical Education in Arewa

In many parts of Nigeria (including the North or “Arewa”), the practice of enrolling students in so-called “Special Centres” for WAEC and NECO examinations has sadly become common. These centres promise guaranteed success by allowing – and often encouraging – various forms of cheating during national exams. While it may appear to be a shortcut to academic success, the long-term consequences of this unethical approach are devastating, not only for the students involved but for the entire Arewa society.
