\"UEWThe school reinstated three lecturers who were dismissed, is set to reopen on April 8<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A group calling itself the Concerned Students and Alumni of the University of Education, Winneba has welcomed the decision to reinstate three dismissed staff of the school.<\/p>\n

But the group is unhappy the Vice-Chancellor of UEW is still at post.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Citi News, leader of the group, Victor Osei Agyemang said although they want the Vice Chancellor to resign, a planned demonstration to demand such action has been postponed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are still calling for the resignation Vice-Chancellor and Council Chairman of the University. We are satisfied and happy the three have been reinstated. Postponing of our demonstration is not because of what they have done, but we are re-scheduling our next demonstration either in Accra or Winneba and we would be announcing the date soon,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

He also complained about a decision of the university to make students write their mid-semester exams a day after reopening.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe university doesn\u2019t have students interest in mind. How can students travel from the Northern Region and they asking students not report on Saturday or Sunday but Monday and expect the students to write the mid-semester exams the following day. At least there should been a three-day interval for students to relax their minds and prepare for the exams,\u201d Mr. Osei Agyemang said.<\/p>\n

On April 3, 2019, the Governing Council of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) reinstated three lecturers who were dismissed.<\/p>\n

The reinstated lecturers included Dr. Emmanuel Osei Sarpong, Dr. Frimpong Kwaku Duku and Prof Ephraim Avea Nsoh<\/p>\n

The school is also set to reopen on April 8, 2019, after it was shut down following student protests over the dismissal of some of the lecturers.<\/p>\n

<\/b>Dismissals and protests<\/p>\n

Students of the UEW protested the sackings of some senior staff of the school by the Vice Chancellor.<\/p>\n
