Chairman of Parliament’s Legal Committee, Ben Abdallah says Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of Parliament will have a meeting with the leaders of the National Association of Law Students soon over the mass failure in the entrance exam.
The Committee earlier met with the General Legal Council and the Independent Examination Committee where the two bodies gave reasons for the mass failure and the way forward.
The Law school has seen mass failures over the years and this year was no different as about 1,800 students who sat for the entrance exams, only 128 of them passed.

So either Tuesday, Wednesday or even by the close of next week, we will have met some representatives of the association so they come and present their side of their story to us.â€
