There is a decline in the quality of tertiary institution graduate in Nigeria. A situation where tertiary institution graduates cannot defend what they claimed that they studied and some graduates of higher institution cannot constructvery good letter is acause for concern. University lecturers and employers of labour have always complained onthe quality of school products. All these are frightening signals which portends danger for thefuture of the country. A number of issues could have led to these problems and the mostpronouncedamongthemisexaminationmalpractice.Theissueoftacklingexaminationmalpractices has become a growing concern to the stakeholders; including the government,school administrators, and society. Several techniques such as; use of invigilators to monitorexamination, accrediting candidates for examination with photo albums, use of candidate’sidentity cards or biometric machines have been made to salvage the situations in the past.These techniques, however, seem not to have yielded the desired results as the cases ofexaminationmalpracticekeepincreasing.ThisledtotheadoptionofClosed-CircuitTelevision (CCTV) camera as security tool by tertiary institution to complement the effort of the human invigilators. The purpose of this study istherefore to assess the effectiveness of CCTV as security tool on examination malpractice usingtertiary institution ascasestudy.Thispurposewasachieved by collecting data through a descriptive survey to obtain the responses of somesampledtertiary institution candidates,coordinatorsandsupervisors/officials on effect CCTV has on reduction of examination malpractice and tertiary institution candidates’ willingness to cheat under the CCTV surveillance. Out of the entire population,431 persons were sampled. The sampled population used for the study was derived from thetertiary institution graduate candidates, institution examination coordinators and supervisors in Federal polytechnic Nekede, Owerri Imo State.Theinstrumentsdevelopedandusedbytheresearcher was the ‘‘Questionnaire on Candidates’ Willingness to Cheat and Reduction onExamination Malpractice Under Closed-Circuit Television Surveillance’’ with the interviewon ‘Perceptions of Supervisors on Reduction of Examination Malpractice throughCCTV Surveillance. Six research questions and five null hypotheses guided this study. Theresearch questions were answered using Descriptive Statistics of Mean, while the hypotheseswere tested at 0.05 level of significance using independent t-test statistics, chi-square, simplelinear regression and ANOVA. The findings of the study revealed that CCTV surveillance hasreduced tertiary institution candidates’ willingness to cheat and that CCTV surveillance is a bettersecurity tool than human invigilation in tracking perpetrators. CCTV cameras have effect onreductionofexaminationmalpracticesandthatperceptiveofthesupervisorsabouttheeffectivenessofCCTVinreducingexamination malpracticeamongcandidateswas positive. Generally, Closed-Circuit Television as a security tool, has playedsignificantrolesincurbingexaminationmalpracticeduringtheconductoftertiary institution examination.Basedontheabovefindings,onemajorrecommendationamong others is that the use of CCTV surveillance in monitoring examination should beautomatedand adopted byother examinationbodies.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BackgroundtotheStudy
Education has been described as a process of teaching and learning, through which the youngoffspring acquires knowledge for self-development. According to Osuji (2020), education isperceived as a process through which young people are equipped to lead productive liveaccordingtotheirtalentsandinterests.Themainpurposeofeducationisknowledgeacquisitionandrealizationof potentials,butlearnersare notonlytaughtandtrained toacquire knowledge and skill alone but also how to adapt to acceptable public life. To Onyibe,Uma and Ibina (2015) education is a means of overcoming handicaps, achieving greaterquality and acquiring wealth and status for all. Education is regarded as a means by whichindividuals develop according to their personal needs, talents and potentials. Schooling at theearly stages focused on the development of basic interpersonal communication and literacyskills while schooling at the later years turns towards acquiring the knowledge and skillsneeded to create value and establish a livelihood. People also strive to be educated to satisfytheir innate curiosity, out of interest in a specific skill or subject, or for overall individualiseddevelopment.
Education couldbe divided into formal or informaleducation. A typeof education thatoccurs in a structured environment with solely purpose of teaching students is called formaleducation. Formal education usually takes place in a school environment with classrooms ofstudents learning together under the supervision of a trained and certified teacher of thatsubject. Unlike formal education, informal education occurs in a variety of places and doesnotfollowthespecifiedcurriculum.Itisunnecessarilyplannedtobepedagogicallyconscious, systematic and according to subjects, but rather holistically problem- oriented, andrelatedto situation management and fitness for life.
Teaching and learning are practical in the African traditional educational system, the learnerslearnorallyandthroughcloseobservationoftheirmasters.Therewasnoneedforcertificationsincethesocietywasinterested inskillacquisitionandpracticaldemonstrationof skills learned. No issuance of certificate to prove completion of course of study. Thewestern or formal education is measured on certificates, yet certificate is not best proof ofknowledge acquisition and retention. Before certificate is awarded, students must have beenexaminedor assessed in the field they havebeen trained.
It is a general consensus that education is a means whereby an individual is guided to developintellectually and to acquire certain skills adjudged to be necessary for his/her living and forthe upliftment of the society in which he/she lives. The function of education should thereforebe geared towards increasing those characteristics necessary for the individual’s effectivenessand examination is the instrument used for assessing these individual competences both ingeneral area and in specific area of studies, as well as the overall academic achievement. As averitable tool for the development of a nation, education has no meaning if there isnoassessment or examination. It is therefore means that assessment and examination are veryvital tool in determine the standard and level of education achievement. Onyibe, Uma andEmmanuel (2015) opine that examination is the most common tool around which the entiresystem of education revolves, it is the instrument used to decide who is permitted to move tothe next academic level.
Suleman, Gul, Ambrin& Kamran in (2015) defined examination as the process of assessingunderstanding,knowledgeandacademicabilityofanindividualwithinagivenperiod.Examinations are arranged to evaluate the academic achievement of students and to knowwhether they have achieved a standard of academic learning and knowledge. Nnam and Inah(2015)opinedthatexaminationisayardstickagainstwhichstudentsorcandidates’competenceandprogressareformallymeasured andappraisedintheeducationsector.Omemu (2015) noted that teaching and learning become more effective when the students aresubjected to an examination process to determine the extent to which the students haveassimilated the content of the instruction given and the teacher can also assess himself fromthe performance of the students. The outcome of examinations goes a long way to determinewhether the objectives of the academic process are being met or not. Although students'performanceinexaminationmaynotbethetruereflectionoftheirability,tilldatehowever,examination still remains the most popular tool for an objective assessment and evaluation ofwhat a learner has achieved after a period of schooling/training. In fact, it is one of the mostreliable indicators used to determine the extent of students' performance in a given training.However,despitetheimportanceofexaminationinteachingandlearningsituations,anumber of factors affect the credibility of examination scores. Many of these irregularities ormisconducts surround examination and it came to an alarming rate in the last two decades.Oneofthefactorsthatmayaffectthereliabilityofexaminationscoresisexaminationmalpractice.
Examinationmalpractice isanythingdone by anycandidate thatrendersthe assessmentprocess useless and unreliable. Examination malpractice is defined as any deliberate act of wrongdoing, contrary to the rulesof examinations designed to give a candidate an undue advantage. Examination malpracticealso known as cheating is the illegal action that students take during their examinations to tryto make good grades by cutting corners. Examination malpractice isan act or irregularmanneroftestingcandidateswhichcontravenestherulesandconventionsguidingtheconduct of examinations. Examination malpractice has done a lot of harm to students sincemany of themhave neglected theirbookswiththe hope of performingthe magic theyareused to in every examination. Examination malpractice in Nigerian educational system hasbeen widely discussed and viewed as a major challenge not only to examination bodies but toschooladministrators,theentireeducation system,thegovernmentandthesocietyatlarge.
Examinationmalpracticeisnotpeculiartoourinstitutionoflearningorcountryalone.Cheating has been a social problem for most of recorded history. In an ancient China whereapplicantsfor civilservice were requiredtotake examinationsinindividualcubiclestoprevent them from copying and they were searched for notes before entering the cubicle.Death penalty was also imposed on any examinee caught cheating but in spite of all theseharsh measures, cheating still occurred. In Nigeria, examination malpractices have become asource of great concern to the Nigerian society to the extent that the Federal Government ofNigeria under the leadership of the AbdulsalamiAbubakar in 1999 constitution enacted adecree on examination malpractices now known as the Examination Malpractices Act 33 of1999todealwiththisstiffandverydisgracefulsocietalthreat.InattemptstocurbexaminationmalpracticesinNigeria,Act33of1993 outlinesthefollowingamongtheoffencesthat constitutes examination malpractices:
- Stealingofquestionpapers;
- Impersonation;
- Conspiracytocheats;
- Obstructionofsupervisor;
- Breachofdutiesduringexamination.
Over time the issue of tackling examination malpractices both within the formal schoolsettings and other examinations venues has become a growing concern to the stakeholders;including the government, school administrators, and society. It has become so rampant thatthe core values of the school system are now been eroded. Besides youths are no longerconvincedabouttheculturalvaluesandrewardforhard-work.Severaltechniquessuchas;use of invigilators to monitor examination, accrediting candidates for examination with photoalbums from examination regulatory bodies, use of candidate’s identity cards or biometricmachines have been made to salvage the situations in the past. These techniques, however,seem not to have yielded the desired results as the cases of examination malpractice keepsincreasing.In the eventof a breach, these techniques may provide enough evidence neededfor prosecution of the culprit and their conspirators that may have destroyed the evidence.Thisledtotheintroductionofavideosurveillancesystemintendedtocomplementtheeffortof the human invigilators. Through video surveillance systems the behaviour and activities ofpeoplecanbemonitoredusingelectronicequipmentsuchasCloseCircuitTelevision(CCTV) systems. CCTV system is surveillance infrastructure mounted at a predeterminedlocation to ensure optimal coverage, which collects scene images that are transferred to amonitoring station or are stored for subsequent analysis and review, to prevent crime bydeterring potential offenders, because of their awareness of the cameras that may be watchingtheiractivities.OneoftheobjectivesofusingaCCTVsystemistodetectsuspiciousbehaviours in real-time so that proactive measures can be taken. In Nigeria, Closed CircuitTelevision technology (CCTV) is gradually becoming part of the strategy to prevent crimeand the fear of crime. This approach is not new as the implementation of CCTV systems hasrisen steeply over the past decade in more developed countries. CCTV systems are now beingconsidered or are actively in use in these countries in public transportation settings, airports,intersectionsas‘redlightcamera‘,markets,shoppingmalls,universities,governmentbuildings,andpublicstreets. Thesesystemsarebeingincreasinglypromotedfortheirdeterrent value, promoting public safety, enhanced detecting capabilities, and their usefulnessindecreasing policeresponsetimes.
However, in examination scenarios in Nigeria, this is not the case, because detection ofinfringements or suspicious behaviours in real-time is subject to the operator’s uninterruptedvigilance. Some candidates perpetrate malpractice during examinations and get away with itwithout been caught despite the installation of a CCTV system. This is due to several factorssuchasfatigueonthepartoftheCCTVoperator;thismaycausedistractions,humanbiasness, positioning of camera that may affect area of coverage or some candidates maybeoccluded from view to mention a few. All these challenges could influence the outcome ofvideo surveillance. Tertiary institutions in their effort to sourceforremediestoexaminationmalpracticeintheirexamination,adoptedCCTVcameraasone of the security tools used to checkmate examination malpractice in public examinationssince 2017. Tertiary institution after the completion of the examinations reviewed the activities of the suspectedcandidates through its Central servers in which all CCTV cameras of all centresare connected to. Improvements on the usage of CCTV cameras in monitoring tertiary institution exams willincrease inability of the perpetrators to deny their involvement in malpractice when and ifcaught. CCTV cameras will provide evidences that cannot be destroyed by the perpetratorsand their conspirators especially, if the contents are directly stored in the cloud on real-timebases. The usage of CCTV cameras to monitor higher institutions would give officials opportunities toreviewmalpracticecases and takeinformed decisions.
Statement of the Problem
Examination malpractice is one social problem that is underscoring the outcome and purposeof conduct of examination in Nigeria and it requires a long-lasting solution. Examinationmalpractice occurs at all levels of the Nigerian educational system but the focus of this studyis Tertiary Institution Examination.The more the government, school management,examination bodies and other well-meaning individuals try to find solutions to the problem ofexamination malpractice in Nigeria, the more the perpetrators also device ways to frustratesuch efforts. The problem is becoming more technical by the day; it is transforming from theera of candidates copying from fellow candidates to using sophisticated electronic gadgetssuch as cell phones and concealed earpieces. The problem of examination malpractice hasreducedcertificatesissuedinNigeriaintoalittleworthpaper,suchthatanumberofcandidates with outstanding results cannot defend their certificates. The performances of suchcandidates are not commensurate to the quality of their certificates. Most disheartening is thesituationwherecandidateswhohavesecuredadmissiontostudyabroadaresubjectedtodehumanizing treatment because of suspicion on the authenticity of their certificates (Nwoke,Osuji, Agi 2017). Therefore, this study is to assess the roles of Closed-Circuit Television assecuritytool on examination malpractice: casestudy ofFederal Polytechnic Nekede.

SignificanceoftheStudy
The findings of this study will enable education stakeholders to understand importance ofClosed-Circuit Television (CCTV) in reducing or eliminating examination malpractice inNigeria.
Findings of this study will be very useful for tertiary institutions; as it aids them to know howto diverse admission procedures in order to consider the right candidates for admissions. Inthis way they can separate the sheep from the goats and thus, ensuring that round pegs areplacedin round holes.
Furthermore, it will be proficient for all students/researchers, who are carrying out researcheson examination malpractices and other related topics. The findings of the study will aid thestudents/researcherstohaveknowledgeoftheworkthathasbeendonebythecurrentresearcher on CCTV and examination malpractice in order for them to conduct further studiesinunexplored areas.

This chapter presents summary andconclusions drawn from the results of this study. It alsocontainstherecommendations and suggestions forfurtherstudies.
Summary
ThisstudysoughttoinvestigatetheroleofClosedCircuitTelevisiononexaminationmalpractice: case study of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. The study was guidedby six research questions and five research hypotheses. The study adopted a survey researchdesign. The area of the study was Federal polytechnic Nekede. The population of the study comprise ofcomputer science final year candidatesAtotalnumberof431respondentswasusedforthestudy.Theinstrumentsusedforthecollectionoftherelevantdatawas15-itemstructuredqestionnairetitled“Questionnaire on Reduction on Examination Malpractice Under Closed-Circuit TelevisionSurveillance” with the interview on “Perceptions of exam Supervisors on Reduction ofExaminationMalpracticethroughCCTVSurveillance”.Theresearchquestionswereanswered using Descriptive Statistics of Mean, while the hypotheses were tested at 0.05 levelof significance using independent t-test statistics, chi-square, simple linear regression andANOVA. From the analysis of data, thefollowingwere found:
- ThereisasignificantrelationshipbetweentheuseofClosed-Circuittelevision(CCTV)andthewillingnesstocheatamongthe institutioncandidates during the examination.
- Closed-Circuit television (CCTV) has significant effect on reduction of examinationmalpractice.
- Closed-Circuit television (CCTV) performs better than human invigilation as securitytoolin tracking perpetrators.
- There is statistically significant difference between the responses of male and femalecandidates on willingness tocheat,with malecandidates havehigher tendency to cheat.
- There is no statistically significant difference between the responses of the coordinatorsandsupervisorsonreductionofexaminationmalpracticethroughClosed-Circuittelevision (CCTV).
- Examsupervisors believe strongly thatClosed-Circuittelevision(CCTV)isveryeffectiveinreducingexaminationmalpracticeamongcandidates.
Conclusion
The discourse sofarreveals that there are several dimensions to examination malpracticesand that the menace is as criminal as forgery and electoral fraud/malpractices and they mustboth be seen and treated as such, if it were to be effectively and decisively dealt with in ordertocurbthemenacetominimizeitsnegativetellingeffectonoureducationsector.SaintMoses Eromosele (n. d.) notes that examination malpractice thrives in a corrupt country andNigeria is a corrupt country and that examination malpractice has eaten deep into the people’spsyche.IntheareaofusingsecuritytoolsuchasClosed-CircuitTelevisiontocurbexamination malpractices, the school management is a trail blazer by usingequipment to curtail examination malpractices since2017.TheuseofCCTVsurveillancesystemsformonitoringactivitiesintheexaminationhallisgainingprominencebecauseofitsbenefitswhichincludeprovidingevidence for investigative reasons and also serving as a deterrence to intending offenderssincethey areawarethat they arebeing watched.
Recommendations
Based on the findings of this study it was concluded that the place of CCTV camera inensuring hinge and crime free examination cannot be overemphasized. This then means thattheuseofCCTVsurveillanceinplaceofhumaninvigilationorinadditiontohumaninvigilation could go a long way in assisting the school to nib the issue of examinationmalpractices on the bud, especially during the conduct of exam. This, therefore, suggeststhatwhereCCTVsurveillanceisusedduringtheconductofexamination,students’willingnesstocheatwillbereduceddrasticallywhichwouldenhanceClosed-CircuitTelevisionas security tool against examinationmalpractices.
It is thus appropriate that not only should other examining bodies join in using the Closed-Circuit Television to reduce the incidence of examination fraud, but that all stakeholders intheindustrymustcontributemeaningfullytomakingthesystemworkbyjoininginpurchasing more of such equipment to accelerate their use to curb methods of committing thiscrime.The processwillhelptopromote the sanctityof the certificatesissuedbytheseexamining bodies and by extension our education system. We will then be able to restore thelost glory of our education system and proudly take our place in the education sector amongthecomity of nations.Basedonthefindingsof thisstudy,thefollowingrecommendationsweremade.
- OtherexaminationbodiesshouldinvestandadopttheuseofClosedCircuitTelevisionto monitor their examinations.
- The school managementBoardasabodyshouldhirequalifiedandintegrity-bound individual to monitor Closed Circuit Television operation to ensureprompt response in case of crime or violation detection,file retrieval and minortrouble shooting.
- For better performance, the use of Closed Circuit Television system in monitoringexaminationsshould be automated.
- The school managementBoardshouldgearedefforttowardsensuring that impersonation is frowned at in the process of validating the candidates’registration.
SuggestionsforFurtherStudies
This study appraised the roles of Closed Circuit Television as security tool on examinationmalpractice among tertiary candidates. In view of thefindings and scope of this study, the researcher hereby suggested that further studies in thesame topic should be carried out by expanding the scope to cover higher institution of Nigeria.
