Here are the main reasons I think play against the publication of Results of major examinations like the GCE on the Internet.
- The results could easily be tempered with by some unscrupulous individuals if published on the Internet.
- Students and parents could be exploited by cyber cafes that may charge exorbitant sums for Internet credits.
- Greater exposure to the Internet shall imply greater exposure to scams and inappropriate sites for teenagers.
- By publishing on local journals, the GCE Board is indirectly boasting the reading culture which is currently low. Publishing on the Internet will exclude this incentive.
- Publishing on the Internet will mean frustrating and weakening the local news papers.
- The Internet can hardly replace the radio; therefore reading the results over the radio encourages Cameroonians to cultivate a habit of listen to the radio.
- Publishing the results on the Internet may diminish the credibility of the country and the various certificates abroad.
- It’s an opportunity for local news papers that publish the results to register a sudden increase in sales and grow.
- It’s a source of revenue for the GCE Board when news papers and radio stations buy soft copies of the results.
