Two Ghana School of Law SRC executives to step down for failing Part 1 exams?

Two Executives of the Ghana Law School Student’s Representative Council (SRC) are expected to step down as SRC Executives due to their failure to complete Part 1 of the Professional Law Course as mandated by the school.

The two Executives, Maxwell Adu Takyi and Collins Osei Agyemang were unable to pass at least four out of the required six courses in Part 1 of the Professional Law Course.

The school’s regulations stipulate that students must pass a minimum of four out of the six courses in Part 1 to advance to the final stage of Law School.

Those who meet this requirement will progress but will need to retake the failed exams.

However, students who fail more than two papers are obligated to repeat the entire Part 1.

In the current scenario, Maxwell Adu Takyi, the Vice President of the Gimpa Campus, and the Vice President of the Kumasi campus, are still Part 1 students instead of moving on to Part 2.

This situation mirrors the case of Philemon Laar, the former President of the SRC at the Ghana Law School in 2021, who was asked to step down by the school authorities for not advancing to Part 2.

Following the precedent set with Philemon Laar, it is anticipated that the school will demand the resignation of the two executives from their positions as SRC Executives.

In an interview with some students, concerns were raised about the management’s delay in instructing these executives to step down, allowing for fresh elections to fill the void.

The student emphasized the importance of seniority in the legal profession, likening it to the military or police service, and stressed the need for the school to take action as they did with Philemon Laar’s situation.

“A precedent has been established, and it must be upheld,” a lady student said.

There are reports suggesting that a number of Law Students at both GIMPA and Kumasi campuses are declining to acknowledge the Executives in question as their leaders.

This development is causing a significant division within the SRC membership and exposing the SRC executive to mockery.
