There was pandemonium on the campus Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ) on Sunday as authorities deny students access to examination centers over full payment of school fees and online registration.

Following the protest by the students over a policy demanding full payment of school fees and online registration before given access to examination halls, the institute has been closed down temporarily.

The students who were prevented from writing the exams included those who have paid their fees in full and those who had paid at least 60 per cent of their fees, but could not complete an online registration.

The police had to be called in to restore order.

Many of the students, according to reports, were unable to complete the E-registration because of its complex nature.

The students who have been affected by the decision are pointing accusing fingers at the new rector of the school, who they claim ordered for them to be locked out of the exam hall.

Before, students are required to pay 80 percent of fees however, that was changed suddenly without prior notice.
