Haiti - Education : Follow-up of sanctions against fraudsters to State exams 2017
Thursday a meeting around the follow-up of the sanctions provided against the fraudsters (candidates or schools) to the state exams 2017 was held between Meniol Jeune, the Director General of the Ministry of National Education, the members of the State Examinations Commission and other senior executives of the Directorate General.
Meniol Jeune said he hoped that the education community and the general population would be informed by next week about the sanctions they are considering against the fraudsters to State exams claiming "We must respect our commitments and send a clear signal to all those who break the rules and operate outside the standards set by the Ministry."
The National Bureau of State Examinations (BUNEXE) in conjunction with the Examinations Commission has identified a list of fraudsters deserving a clear warning or sanction from the education sector regulator. Depending on the seriousness of the fault, a penalty scale ranging from a warning to the suspension of participation in State examinations or the outright withdrawal of the permit issued to schools is envisaged.
The Ministry recalls that the Departmental Directorates of Education (DDE) must collaborate in this process and provide all proven cases of fraud in their region.
