Ghanaian MP Vincent Ekow Assafuah has voiced concerns regarding the potential reinstatement of entrance exams within the country’s new legal education system. The newly implemented framework aims to reform legal training, but Assafuah warns current admission procedures may inadvertently replicate the abolished entrance examination model. He suggests the current arrangements could create a similar barrier to entry for aspiring lawyers, despite Parliament’s intention to eliminate such hurdles. The MP’s comments highlight anxieties about accessibility and fairness within the legal profession. This debate centers on ensuring the reforms genuinely broaden access to legal education. Further discussion is expected to clarify the admission process and address these concerns. The core issue revolves around preventing a return to the previously criticized examination-based selection process.
