Parliament has passed a resolution compelling the General Legal Council to instruct the Ghana Law School to admit the 499 students who sat for the 2021 entrance exams and passed per the marking scheme as advertised.
The resolution by parliament came after a motion was filed by deputy minority whip Ahmed Ibrahim.
The students recently petitioned parliament admonishing it to intervene in the matter.
The affected LLB graduates are currently in court challenging the decision of the school not to admit them.
After putting the question for adoption of the resolution, first deputy speaker Joseph Osei-Owusu ordered the Attorney General Godfred Dame to ensure the resolution is carried through by the Ghana Law School.
The resolution comes after two thousand LLB candidates who sat for the 2020/2021 academic year Ghana School of Law 2021 Entrance Exams failed the exams.
Out of the students from the various law faculties across the country who sat for the exam, only 790 of them passed.
The Ghana Legal Council (GLC), the body in charge of legal education in Ghana has been criticized for this development especially as it applied a new rule requiring candidates to pass 50% in each of the two sections (A and B) of the exam; a rule which did not exist before the examination.
