The Governing Council of the University of Education, UEW is to set up a committee to investigate and fish out students involved in the demonstration that led to the destruction of some properties.

This follows the massive destruction of school properties at UEW after Regional Security Council  REGSEC ordered a shut down of UEW last week over the violent protest of students asking for the removal of the Vice-Chancellor Prof Afful Broni and reinstatement of some sacked lecturers.

According to the Dean of Students of UEW, Dr. Kwesi Amponsah in an interview with Starr news, he said they will put in necessary measures to reopen the school as soon as possible.

''We are expecting that we will do everything possible to make sure students return back to school. Certain measures will have to be put in place for things destroyed to be put in order. During the demonstration, I realized other people who were not students joined and that was when the mayhem and destruction started''.

''As part of the meeting today the governing council will set up a committee to investigate the damages caused at the University campus,''Dr Kwesi Amponsah added.

Meanwhile, the governing council toured the campus to access the extent of damages caused by the students during last week's demonstration. The governing council during their tour at some halls in the school identified some damages. Interestingly, there was massive destruction of the faculty of one of the lecturers, Dr. Doku who was dismissed from the university.

Some lecturers proposed for students to be billed to pay for the damages caused but some also argued that it will not be fair since not all students partook in the destruction.

The UEW students have also appealed to the authorities to soften their stands on the decision of all students to pay for damages because they argued that not all students actions led to the massive demonstration leading to the destruction of school properties.
