The management of University of Education Winneba (UEW), has assured stakeholders that academic records of students will be updated within the next two weeks.

The decision was announced after a management meeting.

The school has also assured that there will be some updates to the GPAs starting today, Monday, September 26.

The level 400 students of the school accused the data protection unit of the University of neglecting to update their records in the last three years even after serving notice.

They, therefore, organised a demonstration last week to express their anger arguing that they are due for graduation in a couple of weeks but do not know their GPAs.  

Management of the university, in a statement, however, said the issue will be resolved soon.

Below is the statement:

Following a crunch meeting by Management with respect to issues related to the results of Level 400 Students, the following measures have been put in place to ensure timely resolution of the issues.
