Following a phone call between the Sector President, H. E OWUSU PRINCE KWABENA (OPK) and the SRC President of ADA College of Education, Hon. Gideon Ametsikor, on some Level 300 Students of the College in question been denied access to examination room due to non-payment of College and Examination Fees, the SECTOR PRESIDENT together with HON. KUWORNU MORGAN MAWULI (SECTOR COORDINATOR) and MARY DARKWA ADUEAKON (SECTOR GENERAL SECRETARY) on behalf of the Executives of the Sector visited the College to have a round table discussion with the authorities of the College for a resolution that serves a favourable interest of both students and management.
The DELEGATION first met the SRC to be briefed on the steps taken in salvaging the situation; following, the DELEGATION met the ASSESSMENT OFFICER and the DEAN OF STUDENTS' AFFAIRS to be briefed on the background of what necessitated such actions by the Management of the College as well as the steps taken in previous times and ways of solving them.
Having understood the matter and the stance of the students from their reps and the causes that triggered Management in taking such steps, the DELEGATION together with the SRC had a round table discussion with the PRINCIPAL of the College and finality was drawn on the matter to allow the victimized students to write their exams.
The DELEGATION afterwards met the L200 students to also encourage them to show discipline with the payment of fees in order to prevent such situations. The students in question were advised to utilize the Office of the Dean as well as other offices appropriate in registering their difficulties and making the authorities aware of their challenges if any rather than showing up at the last hours.
The SECTOR through this medium wishes to express our gratitude to the authorities of the College for the warm reception and the listening ear given to the leadership of the Sector.
Going forward, it is our Hope that students would do well to fulfill their part of the agreement as measures put in place to prevent issues of such nature.
SECTOR PRESIDENT'S ADVICE
My dear trainees of the EGA Sector, Education is a right not a privilege BUT remember that every RIGHT comes with RESPONSIBILITY. Just as we have the RIGHT TO EDUCATION, we should also discipline ourselves in fulfillment of our RESPONSIBILITY of fee payment and proactively engaging authorities in times of having challenges in executing such responsibility.
For many times, I have said that #HopeNotFear for the STRUGGLES CONTINUE BUT VICTORY IS CERTAINED.
