School Of Health Kintampo Students Demonstrate Against Paper Re-sit Revoke

School Of Health Kintampo Students Protest

Students of the School of Health at Kintampo in the Brong Ahafo region on Monday demonstrated over a decision to revoke students’ rights to re-sit papers they have been referred in before the end of their final academic year.

According to the students, the school authorities are acting contrary to the laid down procedures in the school’s handbook.

Speaking to Citi News, the Vice President of the Kintampo branch of the Mental Health Association, Kasim Vuku said all attempts to liaise with the authorizes over their grievances have proven futile.

“It was stated that if you have been referred in one paper, you have two chances to redeem your image before you are given the opportunity to write the final paper but this time around, they are telling us that we have to write assignments, write thesis, write mid semester exams before you can write the papers we have been referred in.

They were supposed to give us one week revision before the end of the semester but the administration is not in the position to listen to us,” he explained.

Meanwhile, following the demonstration, it was gathered that the school authorities have agreed to postpone examinations for one more week to resolve all their grievances.
