Law students boycott "special clbades" for repeat students
Students from the Ghana Law School boycotted "special clbades" designed for repeat students who fail the bar exam.
Only 64 students pbaded the exam on a total of 525 students having pbaded the bar exam. 284 students were asked to rehearse and rewrite the 10 courses in the programs they had enrolled, while 177 others who were referred to different newspapers will have to review these papers.
Law students have asked Parliament to create an investigative commission to examine the recent high failure rate observed by school students. Adding to that, they also want the committee to review their badertion that some of the questions asked in the exams do not fall under the curriculum badigned to them by the school authorities.
The students in a letter signed by the president of the SRC School, Emmanuel Kwabena Owusu Amoah, addressed to the director of the Ghana Law School, said:
"We are deeply concerned about the conduct and management of our exams, which, we believe, is partly responsible for the high rate of failures."
"We are also concerned about the repetition of the policy which, in our opinion, is unfair and has the consequence that a large number of students are struggling to graduate from school. This injustice also finds its expression in the new reforms that have taken over the old system of repeating students who fail more than 2 out of 6 subjects in the first part and more than 2 out of 4 subjects in part 2. Then only students who have failed more than 6 courses out of 10 should be repeated. "

BOYCOTT OF SPECIAL CLASSES
We took note of the advice of special clbades for repeaters. We wish to state unequivocally that we do not believe that the challenges facing law students in Ghana relate to teaching and learning.
We are deeply concerned about the conduct and management of our exams, which, in our opinion, is partly responsible for the high rate of failures.
We are also concerned about the repetition of the policy, which in our opinion is unfair, and as a result, many students are struggling to graduate.
This injustice also finds its expression in the new reforms that have taken over the old system of repeating pupils who fail more than 2 out of 6 subjects in the first part and more than 2 out of 4 subjects in part 2. If this policy applied equitably so only students who failed more than 6 out of 10 courses should be rehearsed.
In addition, the capacity of clbadrooms for special clbades is much lower than that of more than 450 students required to attend clbades.
In view of the foregoing, we hope that our petition concerning the aforementioned grievances will be formally recorded in the General Legal Council, the Parliament, the State Council and the President.
We do not intend to engage in acts that could interfere with our efforts to obtain redress for our grievances.
We wish to respectfully submit that we have resolved not to participate in special clbades until the issues raised in our petition are resolved. Regards,
EMMANUEL KWABENA OWUSU PRESIDENT OF THE AMOAH
