UEW Releases Directives On Mid-Semester And End-Of-Semester Examinations

The Management of the University for Education, Winneba (UEW) in an effort to ensure no student is left out in the forthcoming compulsory quizzes outlined some directives in regard to the conduct of the Mid-semester and End-of-semester examinations.

The University added that the directives are also in response to feedback from a student on the conduct of the mandatory quizzes.

It has therefore approved the following directives with immediate implementation as measures for the conduct of all mid-semester and end of semester examinations:
