Counselling for good conduct in tertiary school examination.
Abstract
The paper examined counselling for good conduct in tertiary school examination, pointing out that school examinations should be well conducted by the school authority and the students should conduct themselves well before, during and after examinations. Counsellors should ensure students are well guided and counselled before examination. This will help to avoid examination malpractice among students. Examination malpractice by students is a deviant behaviour that needs to be checked through counselling. When students are guided for good conduct, they will contribute to national development. Rules and regulations guiding the conduct of tertiary examination were identified. It was pointed out that counselling should be a continuous process in helping students to be of good conduct in tertiary school examinations.
