play the videoStudents had been protesting since March 11 against the Council's decision to dismiss seven conferences.
Unhappy students from the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), threatened to launch protests if their call for the resignation of the Vice Chancellor of the UEW was not heard.
Students had been demonstrating since Monday, March 11, 2019, following the UEW Council's decision to return seven speakers.
They called for the reinstatement of the lecturers concerned and the resignation of the VC, the vice-chancellor of the ETS, Professor Anthony Afful Broni.
The situation worsened on Thursday, March 14, 2019 when police settled on campus and fired bullets and tear gas at the students.
The school was then closed and students were invited to return home.
But, responding to the news that they had been recalled to the campus barely a day after asking them to go home, they added that recalling them on campus without VC's resignation would be like a call to chaos.
They say that they want the VC to resign and as long as it stays in office, they will continue to protest
"We protest on the grounds that we no longer want our VC," they told the media.
"If the VC does not resign and students are asked to return to campus, the chaos will be more intense," noted some of the aggrieved students.
The teaching and non-teaching staff of the STE, gathers DGN Online, left the campus.
The VC says that if he were to resign, it would mean that the university board should also resign.
Meanwhile, commercial drivers in front of the UEW campus have threatened to hold a solidarity demonstration with students from here to Monday, March 18, 2019 if school authorities could not get out of the stalemate.
