The Ghana Legal Council has been requested to monitor the social media accounts of students at the Ghana School of Law to make sure they are of high moral character.
The goal is to make sure that the standards for pupils’ excellent character are upheld.
“Everybody will have to provide their social media handles. We are going to look at it, and you will be monitored in terms of conduct.”
“We are required by law to make recommendations. We don’t want to stampede you. You are going to reapply beyond the pass and submit yourselves for all legitimate checks,” he said during the swearing-in ceremony of the School of Law Students’ Representative Council (SRC) executives.
Before the General Legal Council’s clearance, Mr. Oppong further urged the students to submit themselves for character checks.
“Once we are doing our best to ensure that as many of you as possible who want to help yourselves go beyond the stage you are, and we are succeeding, it will not compromise your good character.”
‘It’s of no use if you are qualified to go to the second year, and you are told that you cannot go because of bad character,” he added.
