Lecturers should be considerate with their marking schemes - Students appeal 

Some students are asking the various lecturers in the universities to be considerate with their marking scheme for their exit examinations.

Some students at the Tamale Technical University said they have spent a lot of time at home making it difficult for them to learn.

According to them, the fees for the academic year should also be reduced because they were not in school throughout.

"We really want them to reduce the fees because we have been in the house for a very long time and then with the E-learning, we are always buying data bundle and it's always difficult for us to study. Sometimes we don't have a network, we are to buy handouts too because the E-learning was not that effective we are appealing to the lecturers to reduce the marking scheme for us."

"We've gone on a lot of holidays from strike to Covid-19 and it has really disturbed us so we are appealing to the lecturers to do something and favour us about the marks and exams," another student added.

"They should consider us when they are doing the marking scheme because we have sat in the house for a very long time."
