A call has been made to the business and executive committee and leadership of the Pentecost University (PU) to grant general amnesty to all undergraduate students of the institution who failed to graduate since its establishment in 2003 due to their inability to pass some of their courses.
"We are pleading that this amnesty we are requesting from the leadership of the University for the undergraduate students should be for the students who failed courses starting from the 20013/20014 academic year.
"We are pleading with authority of the Pentecost University that they should used human centered approach to consider our children to ensure that the roll out of this amnesty should be for a period of three years,” the parents of the affected students explained.
The sores of parents in an interview with Soireenews.com on Sunday February 13, 2022, said that their request becomes necessary because they believed strongly that granting the general amnesty to the undergraduate students would give them the chance to also graduate and get their certificates to work.
"We urging the Members of the National Executive Council (NEC) and Heads of Churches and Organisations of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council to impress upon the leadership of the Pentecost University which is a Mission University established in 2003 by the Church of Pentecost to heed to our call.
"This is because the University of Ghana, Legon has done same to grant amnesty to undergraduate students yet to graduate from the University since 2000/01 academic year over failed courses. And that this new roll out of the University of Ghana is currently helping the undergraduate students.
"So we know for sure that if the leadership of the Pentecost University read this of our safe of soul (SOS) messages through this medium would come out with their decision to grant amnesty to undergraduate students yet to graduate from the University," the parents appealed.
It would be recalled that the University of Ghana has granted amnesty to undergraduate students yet to graduate from the University since 2000/01 academic year over failed courses.
In a statement signed by the Academic Affairs Directorate, it said the roll-out of the amnesty will be for a period of three years i.e. from 2021/22 and 23/24 academic year.
According to them, the amnesty is to help these undergraduate students yet to graduate the chance to graduate.
“This dispensation is an opportunity for all affected students to satisfy the necessary requirements to enable them to graduate.
These Affected students will have a maximum of two years from their first registration to re-sit and pass as many courses as they choose.
