A number of University of Education, Winneba (UEW) students enrolled in the distance education program at the St. John Campus have expressed dissatisfaction with the administration of the school and called on the Ministry of Education to step in and maintain standards.
These students have faced a challenge from the university administration as they prepare to graduate later this month and finish their National Service (NSS).
In order for them to be eligible for graduation, they must provide receipts for their school fees from 2019 to 2024.
Students feel that UEW is showing poor leadership and poor management by imposing this requirement, which has infuriated them.
They contend that it would be impracticable to provide receipts for each of the previous four academic years’ worth of coursework as they had already turned in all required paperwork before their final exams last year.
Given the difficulties in locating receipts spanning several years, the students believe that this demand is irrational and possibly discriminatory.
They claim that fulfilling their prior financial responsibilities should be sufficient to receive graduation clearance.
The students voice their worries, stressing the administrative strain that this sudden obligation has placed on them—especially as they near the end of their academic career.
The students are requesting that the Ministry of Education step in and make sure that UEW maintains justice and openness in its administrative procedures in light of these complaints.
They are looking for a solution that recognizes their past payment compliance and makes it easier for them to graduate without facing unnecessary challenges.
The disagreement draws attention to more general concerns about responsibility and the welfare of students in higher education, highlighting the necessity of fair and transparent policies that promote student achievement.
