Abstract: Cases of examination misconduct have been on the increase in various institutions of learning across the nation, the consequence of which has put a serious dent on the image of our educational system nationally and internationally, rendering procured certificates invalid while the half-baked products are unsuitable in the expected task. Some measures have been put in place to curtail this menace but all to no avail. This study identifies parents as important stakeholder in the educational system with a major role to play in tackling this ugly trend head-long. The investigator largely employs literature review to examine parental influence on examination malpractice. Parents are challenged to wake up to their responsibility of inculcating the right value in their children at the early stage of life to enable them shun vices in their later lives. In conclusion, the study recommends parental personal development of right values, as role models, closeness to the children as well as development of interest in their educational pursuits among other things in playing their expected roles and curbing examination malpractice in our educational system.
