Some 10,000 students who have completed their education at the University of Education, Winneba could have their sweat go down the drain as tenure of the University Council runs out on the 17th of July,2019.
The expiration of the tenure means that there will not be a legitimate body in place to authorize the graduation of the said students.
This will mean such students will have to wait a while longer before having access to their certificates.
Already, the University is slated to hold graduation for the 2018/2019 batch of its products from the 20th of July, three clear days after the expiration of the Governing Council’s mandate.
Kasapa News sources have revealed that the lacunae could also ground administrative activities at the University to a halt as the Council’s approval is needed in most decisions before it could be implemented.
Some lecturers are therefore calling on government and the Ministry of Education to fast track the reconstitution of the University Governing Council so that the University could run smoothly especially in avoiding legal tussle which could erode gains made at the University.
