An additional 177 students who wrote the 2022 Independent Examination Committee (IEC) entrance exams have been admitted to the Ghana School of Law.
This was revealed by the General Legal Council (GLC) in a press release dated November 25, 2022.
Already, GLC has admitted a total of 522 out of the 2654 candidates who sat for this year’s Ghana School of Law entrance exams.
In total, the General Legal Council has admitted 699 candidates to the Ghana School of Law.
The number of students who passed represents less than 20% of the 2,654 people who took part in the examination.
Meanwhile, the Registrar of GSL, Nana Osei-Bonsu, has noted that admitted students are to submit all relevant documents to the Ghana School of Law before November 30, 2022.
Background
It will be recalled that in July 2022, the Independent Examinations Body—the organisation in charge of exams at the Ghana School of Law—cancelled a Civil Procedure paper that was supposed to be written on July 15, 2022.
The Civil Procedure exams were cancelled over the suspicion that the questions had leaked hours before.
The 2022 law school entrance examination was rescheduled to September 23.
However, the exams were cancelled for the second time after being rescheduled to take place on Friday, September 23, 2022, after the exam papers allegedly leaked online.
