The state Chairman, Secondary Education Board, Mr Umana Umana, stated this while featuring in a live Comfort FM radio programme monitored in Uyo on Monday.

He said, “We don’t take things for granted again; we want to ensure that both teachers and students are effective so that there will be an efficient learning process, our monitoring teams are on the field on daily basis making sure they do effective monitoring.”

Umana warned students against examination malpractice, saying any errant student would not be spared.

Umana expressed displeasure over the destruction of school properties host communities and urged them to protect them.

He said, “We are not happy that government is trying to make sure facilities are provided but the rate at which these properties are vandalised is alarming.”

He appealed to school principals to report cases of dilapidated structures rather than waiting for official visits of the board to their schools, saying it would help the government to intervene on time.
