The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) says officials will be deployed to the University Of Education (UEW) to audit the grading system of the institution.
Some level 400 students of the University, on Monday, demonstrated against the school authorities over challenges with their grading system.
About two weeks ago, some of the students protested against the school over what they say was a deliberate attempt by school authorities not to release their results on the student portal.
“It is our responsibility to ensure that anytime the systems that the university put in place are not working well, we move in there and hold them to account”, said the Director-General of GTEC, Prof. Mohammed Salifu.
He added that, his outfit will ensure that the grading system of the school is credible, hence the decision to audit it.
“We will have to get in and do a snap audit to make sure the systems are functioning as they should. Clearly, when you hear students protesting like this, it means there is something wrong. The auditors are supposed to be there this week to begin the work.”
The school authority has assured that the concern of the students is being resolved.
In an interview with Citi News, the Director of Educational Research and Innovation at the Institution, Professor Avea Nsor urged the student to cooperate with management rather than protest.
“If I were the students, I would just engage the leadership of the university because we are having a series of meetings to know what the problem is and how to deal with it”, he said.
Although the students have refused to speak to the media on the issues, Citi News gathered that some of them have boycotted their end-of-semester exams.
Professor Avea Nsor, said management had met on the problem and “We agreed that some steps should be taken, that all exam officers should work to try and rectify that”.
He noted that the student portal was migrating to a new platform and was causing some challenges.
“But it is something we can deal with, and we are dealing with it,” he assured.
He said solving the problems will take “a few more days or possibly a week or two to be able to deal with.”
