    This is childish talk. POTAG or UTAG have no hand in the admittance of the students. It is the school which admitted them. As such if they have any cause to complain about, rather it is the school authorities that are liable. ...

    A very bold step in the right direction. When an action or two is taken by the students union against any of these groups, they will surely be circumspect next time of the kind of move that they make.

    It makes sense because it's these same teachers who collect school fees and other fees from the hands of these kids ostensibly to teach them but they end up leaving them stranded in their classrooms for no fault of theirs.

  • okofo 10 years ago

    What do you gain taking the POTAG of UTAG to court? I advice the NUGS takes on the government rather. Pressure on the gov't can force it to settle issues with the lecturers, and strive may be avoided to begin with.
