Unlike UPSA and others which admit NOV/DEC bound students. They complete school without critical thinking. Most of their lecturers are Adjuncts( with some without PHDS).

If you have passed through UG, UCC, and KNUST for post graduate, you will understand

The schools you mentioned are the ones who actively make arrangements to catch and expose students who attempt to cheat in exams. They deserve applause! Every school have students with tendencies to cheat. Go to Harvard and see. Even some brilliant students will cheat if they get the chance because they aim at 100 percent score. It is the responsibility of every good school to fish them out. So if there is any school without any arrangement to fish out cheating students it’s a shame. Unfortunately some people may consider such schools as good schools because they sweep these things under the carpet.

Dear Registrar Mrs Agyei-Mensah

So how important is it to publish that Offender BOBSON ERICA I.D. 22302609 alone posessed "WRITTEN" material for INTRODUCTION TO SOIL AND THE ENVIRONMENT; yet she again is in another row for possessing HANDWRITTEN material for INTRODUCTION TO SOIL AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

So in your judgment, whether written or handwritten, they are separate offices, right?

I will sadly not celebrate you.

Well spotted. I think it is the same offence entered twice by mistake. Please don't kick a man(woman) when he's down. Madam Registrar please rectify.

They started the cheating from BECE to this level. And they'll grow up to fill our hospitals only to TURN OUT patients who need emergency treatment with the excuse of NO BED. .
Why didn't give them 2 MORE YEARS to top up? ?

Lover of Christ,you are not wholly right,UPSA offers professional courses with external examiners home and abroad,the school has trained a lot of professional accountants and Secretaries over the years who are making the school and country proud.Check with accounting firms,Controller & Accountant-General's Dept,Audit Service,Ghana Revenue Authority etc.If you were lucky to attend Sixth Form there was a topic called a Fallacy of Hasty Generalisation,you are guilty of it here.

Thank you, Kwame. When did University of Professional Studies, Accra become a degree-awarding university?

You will also agree with me that many of the people you mentioned who pursued professional programmes at UPSA had their bachelor’s and master’s degrees from our traditional universities.

Now consider a student who begins both their degree and master’s education solely from institutions such as UPSA and similar schools.

In my view, institutions like UPSA and others have contributed to the collapse of remedial schools because of the nature of some admission requirements. Ghana Tertiary Education Commission must wake up.

How do you admit a student who has not fully satisfied the entry requirements, ask them to write NOV/DEC, and at the same time allow them to pursue a degree programme concurrently?

No one condone cheating but I dont think its right to tanish their image publicly. The school could have sanctioned them by suspension but to publish their names goes too far.

This against their human rights
You should publish within the school but not to the outside world
The students involve should Sue the university
They should no better

Well done! I fully support "Naming & Shaming". It is a good deterrent policy. It must resonate far and beyond. Into the dominions of rising unruly troubling malfeasances of late.

They should sue the school. Why add their index numbers? In US some schools use social security number as students index numbers. What's wrong with UG upon all the professors. Why not furnished lecturers who also copy exams questions to give to students instead of setting their own? I'll pick past exams questions from UG lecturers and run it through Google to show the sources and it will shock. I'll publish their names online and the questions and reference where they picked from. Asuwear watch me.
