The Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, Professor Ebenezer Oduro Owusu has admonished students to eschew all forms of examination malpractices on campus since there will be no opportunity to do so.
“It is better to fail examination and re-sit than to try to cheat the new system” the Vice Chancellor admonished students.
“Tell miscreants who approach you with proposal to help change your grade “You devil, Get away from me” he remarked in an interaction with students of the institution on the Palm Sunday.
Prof. Ebenezer Oduro Owusu revealed “security has been tightened and it would not be easy for one to change grades of a student”
The Vice Chancellor disclosed that some students are currently under BNI investigations for trying to hack and change grades in school’s MIS system.
He told them that any student found indulging in examination malpractice will be expelled from the University after facing the Disciplinary Committee.
Meanwhile the 20 who are in the custody of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) for allegedly attempting to change their grades will soon be arraigned before court
Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof Ebenezer Oduro Owusu, said the students hacked the school’s grading system to change their grades but failed to cover the traces.
He told the National Union of Presbyterian Students (NUPS-G) on Sunday that the suspects are helping the BNI with investigations.
“We are aware students [are] soliciting for help, linking up to people around, trying to break through our system to change grades and to do all sort of funny things,” he said.
Grade manipulation by students is a worrying development that continues to engage school authorities. At least 10 students at the University of Professional Studies (UPS-A) confessed to changing their grades in 2016 a joyfmonline.com report is quoted as saying.
