Court orders reinstatement of 700 Methodist University students
A Human Rights Court has ordered the reinstatement
of 700 students of the Methodist University
College Ghana for wrongful dismissal.

According to the court, it was against the human
rights of the students to be withdrawn since that
will impede their right to education.

Giving its ruling Thursday, the court therefore
slapped a fine of Gh¢10, 000 each on the
Methodist University College Ghana and the
National Accreditation Board.

The University withdrew the students because their
certificates did not meet the minimum requirement
for admission after they have been admitted for
over a year and paid fees.

As a result of the court case, the university
authorities allowed the students to remain and
write their final examination pending the outcome
of the case.

The University officials said they were only
acting on the orders of the Accreditation Board.
