A US-based Ghanaian lawyer, Prof. Kwaku Asare has warned of a possible student implosion over the annual mass failure of students seeking admission into the Ghana School of Law.
Only 128 students out of a total of 1820 passed the exams despite the availability of over 400 vacancies.
Prof. Kwaku Asare who is the latest to question the 93% failure is accusing the General Legal Council of rigging the examination.
He told Starr News Parliament should intervene to scrap the General Legal Council.
“We are likely to see an implosion, you can only suppress people for too long and after a while they just blow up and when people blow up nobody can control the reaction that comes from that blowing up. One day we’ll sit here and the same thing that happened at KNUST will happen with this School of Law and legal education. They are frustrating too many people and they really need to sit up. The President should stop all these overseas speeches talking about things that don’t matter and come to Ghana to address this problem.
He added: “The Speaker of Parliament should convene Parliament and discuss this problem. General Legal Council must be dissolved, a Council of Legal Education and Practice must be set up. All students must go back to their law faculties to take the last year of their education and then in July give them Bar exams those who pass should be called to the Bar.”
