Ghana’s legislature has directed the body that supervises legal education in the country to remark the 2019 Law school entrance exams.
A proposal from the Committee on Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs has noted that based on the controversies that surround the 2019 Ghana School of Law entrance exams, the GLC must consider remarking all scripts.
The suggestion from parliament follows a petition from students who wrote the last exams to the president and parliament.

“....the Committee recommends to the GLC to commence the process of re-marking of the scripts, upon request and payment of reasonable fees.”
The Committee also stated in its report to the House that the Attorney General and Minister of Justice should also submit a new bill to the House to replace Legal Profession (Amendment) Bill, 2018.
According to the Committee on Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, the new bill from the GLC should also address all the challenges facing Ghana’s legal education system.
Parliament’s proposal follows the mass failure of candidates who sat for the 2019 entrance exam for admission to the Ghana School of Law.

According to the son of Ghana’s National Security Minister, the NPP’s parliamentarian for Ablekuma West must be changed.
