Exam Ethics Project (EEP)

EEP focuses on building structure and capacity for promoting ethics, integrity and best practices in admission, teaching, examination, certification, registration and regulation processes in education; combating exam malpractice and academic dishonesty and defending integrity of education. The project has three core objectives.

• Recruitment, training, certification, induction and deployment ethics-friendly education stakeholders as Exam Ethics Marshals in educational institutions across Africa to champion and sustain the campaign in their institutions.

• Training, induction and inauguration of Exam Ethics Students in Institutions to catch them young and plant the seeds of ethics, integrity and self-discipline in their fertile minds; to inculcate the culture of working hard to pass exams based on ethics compliant principles; and for zero tolerance for malpractice, dishonesty, corruption and cultism. Students are motivated and inspired with initiatives like Students Essay Competitions.

• Inauguration of Chapters of Exam Ethics Marshals and Students in Friend and Partner Institutions as countervailing structures for resisting organized examination malpractice syndicates; and for institutionalization and sustenance of the Campaign.

Campus Sense Project (CSP)

CSP is being implemented in response to the challenge of Campus Cults ushering reign of insecurity, criminality, violence, deviant behavior and killings in higher institutions, and are now spreading to primary and secondary schools; and to creeks and streets.

Because innocent students with fertile impressionable minds eager to question and experiment get deceived into joining and becoming victims of cultism because of failure to forewarn them with knowledge of the dangers, it became necessary to mobilize parents, educators, institutions, agencies, governments to work together towards;

• Distributing anti-cult early warning guidebooks and tool kits to empower students with knowledge to say no to cultism and equip parents and educators with insights to provide early counseling to students and children.

• Implementation of orientation, enlightenment, mentorship programs.

• Building capacity of teachers on use of anti-cult early warning and intervention tools to forestall spread to primary and secondary schools.

• Incentivizing campus cult groups to transform and embrace culture of peaceful, humanitarian social campus clubs (fraternities and sororities).Campus Sense and Letter from Necropolis anti-cult early warning guidebooks serve as resource literature for the project.
