A political party called NDC, tweakai. From their founder to the last ground soldier, they are absolutely empty. Talk of governance, and they are way off the radar. NDC is mostly made up of "Drifters, truants, vagabonds, thieves, shallow-minded fools, deplorable leftovers" etc. Look at them and what exactly do you see.

Once-upon-a-time, NPP did not go to parliament making NDC the only political party in governance without any opposition, and did they make Ghana a paradise? If I am on the throes of death and was asked to support NDC to get well, I will choose to die, yes, and I mean it because NDC is nothing more than a group of idiots.

Look at you. When NPP was educating Ghanaian children with the taxpayer's money, what did we hear from the party full of idiots? Mahama was a fierce critic of the free SHS, and he used what amount to buy "Sanitary Pads" and idiots like you are overjoyed. Are you normal?

As for the young ones it's all thievery and porn watchers.

You are not making sense here. What has entrance exams got to do with ensuring students don't cheat? Another layer to corrupt university entry by lecturers and administrators

When I finished SS in 1997 we were second batch for the UEE. Some lecturers organised classes and leaked the questions for those they teach. They should find another alternative. This is not the solution.

Reintroduction of entrance exams will not curb indiscipline in the universities and it will also deny genuine and serious applicants from gaining admission the Universities must find ways to solve this problem

I entered UG in 1984 having passed the GCE A’ level. I don’t recall writing any entrance examinations to gain admission to the university. Anyone with information on university entrance examination may kindly share.

I hardly find where I disagree with him. This menace has gone beyond the high school, it's present at the graduate level as well. People now pursue masters and come out without well cooked. It is worrying as the repercussions in future will.be dire. AI makes learning easier and enjoyable but is also dangerous when not used effectively. We have graduates who have never Sat down to even read....give an assignment then AI delivers for them. For me,.we need to rethink our philosophy in education.

I fully agree with you Doc. This is going to reduce the prevailing wassce malpractices in our pre-tertiary institutions. It's an opportunity for the students with genuine results to pass the entrance examinations and enter our universities without hindrance. This can only succeed if the university authorities will be fair and firm in the conduct of the exams and their admissions.

I don't think it is the best way to go. I wrote University Entrance in 1998 and the paper was leaked before we sat the paper. It rather gives opportunity for those rich family to take advantage of the system. A rich friend got the papers and got the opportunity to see both the general and special papers. It's a way to make money by some lecturers to organize classes to make cash.

Who is going to pay for the entrance examination fee? Indiscipline has become a serious problem in the country even in government. So please don't disturb our peace.
