The student body of National Association of Law Students in its petition accused the General Legal Council (GLC) of deliberately instituting filtration mechanisms to deal with its systematic failure to provide corresponding facilities to accommodate the increasing number of prospective students. The students also said the mass failure did not reflect their actual performance and the deliberate attempt by the authorities to discourage them from asking for re-marking by pegging the re-marking fee at a whooping GH¢3,000. The MP for Bawku Central suggested that the current law should be amended to ensure that accrediting law faculties of tertiary institutions would be done with professional recommendation from the Ghana Legal Council. “Mr Speaker, students of these days don’t like to learn, they don’t want to spend on books. Most of them use social media English language to take their exams and that is seriously affecting the standard of education in the country,” he said.
