    Once it is liberalized schools like Central University will charge and be increasing the fee at 20% per semester just extort students who have already come in.

  • Omanba Kwaku 7 years ago

    IT'S BEEN LONG OVERDUE. OLD FASHIONED MONOPOLISTIC APPROACH TO EDUCATION FOR THE PRIVILEGED FEW. MADE IT AN EXAM BODY AND ALLOW THE UNIVERSITIES TO TRAIN THE LAWYERS, PERIOD!

  • DR TRUTH 7 years ago

    THEY ARE EXAMINING BODIES AND STANDARDS ADHERENCE BODY. THE TEACHINGS ARE DONE BY SCHOOLS AND WORK ORGANISATIONS

    I would propose at least 9 ...

  • Dr. SAS, Attorney at Law 7 years ago

    Bentil focuses only on Bar exams which is just one factor in legal training.

    I focus on rigorous standardized training in any and every "accredited" law school across the country. That also means we should upgrade existing ...

    Why this tug-of-war? Just incorporate your idea into Bentil's, and bingo, this protracted problem is solved. Methinks this is the best way to deal with the problem.

    Useless, of all the problems we have in our educational sector is it what you waste your time on to solve. It(GLS) is not performing?

  • N. Y. Y. 7 years ago

    This proposal should be given the needed attention it deserves by the government of the day in salvaging the situation of legal training in Ghana. There are best practices in many jurisdictions Ghana could learn from.
