The University of Education, Winneba (UEW) has given stakeholders until October 7,2022, to address student concerns about their cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA), which has sparked controversy on campus.

The school has also confirmed that there will be some changes to the GPAs starting on September 26th following a meeting with protesting final-year students.

A statement from the school said, “result-related issues that have been submitted by various departments have been collated and are being uploaded for students to view online in the coming week.”

Last Friday, September 23, 2022, some level 400 students at the institution blocked roads with tree branches, preventing vehicles from entering the university as they protested discrepancies in their results.

They marched through campus as a scheduled meeting expected to take place between final year students and management over the students’ concerns did not happen.

Their actions disrupted lectures and some administrative activities, thereby compelling the school’s authorities to call for police intervention.

The Police fired tear gas at the protesting students, who later ran helter-skelter to find safety.

Aside from the assurance to address the recent challenge, management of the school has established a support desk to handle complaints.

In view of this, management has advised students to “turn to discussion to get any issues resolved.”

“They are also urged to make use of the established practices and instructions provided to hasten the resolution of their issues,” the school added.
