Improving Teachers for Public Examination Administration in Nigeria for 2020 Challenges

Abstract

The improvement of the teachers for public examination administration, sees the teachers as the insider
and fulcrum around, which the pendulum of teaching, learning and examination revolves. The myriad of
problems besetting the conduct of the public examination can greatly be reduced when the (loce-in
parenti) of the examination is adequately prepared to solve the institutionally grown problems of public
examination. The malpractices that pervade the conducts: the endemic problems of funding, shortage of
staff, large enrolments in examination, poor instructional facilities, and many more notwithstanding, the
teacher when sufficiently endowed and empowered can surmount the gargantuan and hydra-headed
problems of public examination administration as we approach the 2020 vision challenges. Some solutions
as a way forward were proffered in this study.
