Guyanese law graduates, who wrote the annual entrance examination to the Hugh Wooding Law School, (HWLS) in Trinidad and Tobago are still awaiting word from the Council of Legal Education, regarding their results. And registration in the institution commences today.
This examination usually caters for law graduates who were not awarded places in the top 25 automatic entry among reserved for Guyanese students. Even students who, based on the Grade Point Average (GPA) and academic performance in the Bachelor of Laws ( LLB) Programme stand a chance at automatic entry, would sometimes opt to write the open entrance examination.
In July, 2015 some 20 Guyanese students, sat the open entrance examination seeking entry into the Trinidad-based Law School.
Each candidate was required to pay US$150 to the Council before sitting the exams, which consisted of five subject areas of law.
However with registration into the HWLS set to begin today, the patience of those who recently sat the exams, locally, has been running thin since Guyanese candidates are yet to receive answers from the overseas based institution, on whether they were granted entry.
Many students have noted that from precedence the Council of Legal Education, would usually release all grades by August month end. This year. however, students have had to contact the Council, to inquire about their future in the legal education.
Some persons were told that “all successful candidates have already been contacted.” But Guyanese law students are contending even if they were unsuccessful the Council should have at least released information to this effect.
The students are now sounding a call to have the regional and local authorities intervene on their behalf.
“We want to know the status of our results and why weren’t we given notice. We have paid our money. We deserve answers, “one person commented
Guyanese students are among candidates from several territories, including St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Lucia, and Dominica to sit the entrance exams.
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
