Abstract

This study provides a solution to a recent result by Ekhosuehi and Osagiede [1] on the asymptotic effect of examination malpractice. We prove that in a dense population of candidates seeking admission in an environment saddled with examination malpractice, educational institutions can maintain the enrolment structure at a certain level n * if a specific quota is fixed by the Ministry of Education or its regulating agency for new entrants into the system.

Keywords: absorbing Markov chain; examination malpractice; multi-echelon educational system; terminal enrolment structure.
