Students of the Ghana School of law have announced they will embark on a demonstration Monday October 7,2019 over the persistent mass failure recorded by students during entrance exams to the school.
It comes after poor results were registered for the third consecutive time by students who are seeking admission to the school.
This year, only 128 students out of the staggering 1,820 candidates who sat for the exams could pass.

“The Executive Council of the Ghana School of Law SRC, immediate Past Presidents of law students’ associations of some law faculties and other student leaders have resolved to form the National Association of Law Students,” the students said.
