This study examined the perceived forms, consequences and strategies for curbing examination malpractices in schools in Asa Local Government Area of Kwara State.

Findings obtained from this study revealed that the perceived forms of examination malpractices are giraffing, impersonation or misrepresentation, written notes on Examination desks,walls, palms,clothes and electronic devices; coded sign Language, bribery, exchanging answer booklets, Submission of multiple Scripts. Consequences of examination malpractice lead to students’ suspension from the school; denies students from studying hard to acquire adequate knowledge; leads to students’ withdrawal from the school among others. The perceived strategies for curbing examination malpractices include controlling over population of examinees, providing strict and adequate supervision among others. There was no statistically significant difference in the perceived strategies for curbing examination malpractices based on gender and school type.It was therefore recommended that Students, teachers, parents and school management have roles to play to curb examination malpractice. Attention should also be paid to skills acquisition rather than too much emphasis on certificates, exams should be conducted in spacious halls to allow enough space between examinees.
