Accra Technical University<\/strong><\/span><\/a> who were disallowed from writing their exams over late payment of fees have been given a second chance to do so.<\/p>\nThe school\u2019s authority has agreed to fix a new date for them to take their\u00a0papers.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”Hg4K326vwq7pBS6oa6y5RpSUrFhWagLE”]Some students of the school, including those in their final year, staged a protest on Monday against a decision by the institution to disallow them entry into the examination hall over the late payment of fees.<\/p>\n
They said even though the University extended the initial deadline of April 7 to May 25, with a GhC50 penalty, the said day was a holiday and most banks were closed hence their inability to pay their balance on time.<\/p>\n
The school\u2019s management which has not publicly reacted to the issue insists that the students failed to comply with the directive to pay their fees on the set date.<\/p>\n
But the President of the Students\u2019 Representative Council (SRC) of the school, Peter Kumordzie, told Citi News<\/strong> on Tuesday that the school has softened its stance on the matter, and will now allow the affected students write their exams.<\/p>\nHe noted however that, students who paid their fees after the deadline will be charged to pay a penalty.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve resolved it; and students will now take their exams. Those who have not paid their fees yet will pay a penalty and take their exams subsequently. They will organize a special exam for them and it will be just like the regular exams. So management is taking care of that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
