The University of Guyana Students’ Society, led by its President, Sherod Duncan, will from tomorrow be engaged in several actions of civil disobedience at Turkeyen campus.
The course of action is intended to bring attention and force action “to the litany of woes which face the student population at Turkeyen and Tain Campuses and the Institute of Distance and Continuing Education (IDCE).”
According to a statement issued by Duncan, the issues range from non-marked scripts, and outstanding grades from first semester to “negative attitudes of some lectures towards the student population, the need for a stationary state of the art Multimedia Projector and Screen and the Public Address System for the lecture theaters, the need for lecturers for courses that were to commence with the second semester, better food and library facilities, wireless internet access and seating accommodations.”
According to Duncan, “These are just a few of the ills that beset the student population, issues that have been raised at both the Academic Board and the Council to no avail and so we are left with no alternative but to act in a way that safeguards the interest of the students who we were elected to serve.”
The UGSS President said, “It is the Society’s studied opinion that the catalogue of conditions that presently plague the University, cannot be allowed to run their course and needs immediate and urgent intervention by the University’s administration and other stakeholders.”
