My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Caleb. Such a tragic accident that was wholly avoidable. Our political class should take note and prioritise working with universities to get their roads up to standard so as to mitigate this from happening again. Caleb, I didn't know you but from your picture you look like a very astute your man, bless you and may your soul rest in eternal peace.....

That's a sad one. I can imagine blame on the official who asked him to go for his card. He may even blame himself but I'm sure he did no wrong and was just doihis work. This is very unfortunate.

The administration of UCC should have knon much much better. A public holiday is a public holiday and MUST be observed as such.

The incident happened on Thursday thats 5th not 6th.... and I blame the TA who refused to allow the boy sit for the paper without his ID, cos while the examination is on going, a register with the students name... face and index goes round for the students to sign ..so there is no way someone wud sit and write a paper for another person...

All this could have been avoided
Rest well

In 1983 I was nearly thrown out of the Exams-hall for First organic Chemistry Paper. It was the timely intervention by Mr Mensah; who allowed me to write the paper so that investigation could take place thereafter. My problem was that we had two students with same first name and similar sir name (with slit differences in spelling). I was being charged for impersonation because the other student apparently did not register for the exam. This issue continued to hunt me till my 3rd year when I formal reported to the Registrar, and warned that I will sue the University for harassment.

The very first thing any student thinks about when going to write an exam is ID card. Taking it along is PART of the exams, so no excuse.

Exemption here, exemption there are one of the main reasons why laws/regulations do not work in Ghana.

As a matter of fact, the first thing any serious university student would think about is their student ID card, which must be carried ALL the time, not only during exams.

This is sad incident, but the man is wholly responsible for what happened. No other person can take the blame.

Too many exemptions are the reasons why laws/regulations do not work in Ghana.

With the millions that this public universities have stashed in their accounts cant there be a biometric database verification how much it will cost the school at all? We training future leaders with archaic mentality and methods.

Secondly, definitely they have an album for which they walk past every student in the hall to verify image isn’t that enough?

You carry ID no wallets allowed, no purse, holding pencil pen eraser, id card calculator and that shit can even get missing.

A soul is gone over ID card, but parents have lost a son, money and lots and lots of time raising him all because of a very “precious id card policy”
So in the event the card is missing cant he write the exams 4 weeks ago

So in the event where the student id card is missing cant the student write the exans ?

Very sad. During our time there was nothing like ID card before exams. Today, because of cheating, look at what is happening. Even WAEC has changed its rules.

This is a very unfortunate incident. Examination ‘pressure/ fever’ alone can make him forget to carry his student ID. I suggest biometrics are linked with the Ghana Cards and biometric devices produced to verify identities in our universities. Our condolences goes to the family and friends.

This is a very pathetic situation. However, in Ghana, the unfortunate has to happen before we address the remote cause. Death will happen when it must in any way. Nevertheless, should a State University, preparing people to love and serve the Country, write exams on the most important Day of the nation - INDEPENDENCE DAY? Does such practice in a State University not create disaffection, apathy, and a lack of patriotism in students? In essence, lecturers who organise exams on no other day than INDEPENDENCE DAY are saying, "bull shit to your independence." If the University authorities approve of this practice, then they need to be investigated. The dead are gone, as it does happen in Ghana, but the practice is counter-education.
