  Better assurance. The Ghana Accreditation Board should stop MountCrest University College from operating and may be turn it SHS. It is a useless university ever. Students who were to have completed 3years ago are now doing field attachment which was not part of the initial programme. Students results could not be traced. No proper records. My advice to parents and individuals is please don't make mistake taken your or chosing that school. You can be there 6 years without graduation for a master programme

  Corrupt education cannot empower students and must be recognised by students and all stakeholders. The purpose of education is self empowerment. That purpose is undermined by corrupt practices and the student is the loser.

  The Vice Chancellor disclosed that some students are currently under BNI investigations for trying to hack and change grades in school’s MIS system.
  
  He told them that any student found indulging in examination malpractice will be expelled from the University after facing the Disciplinary Committee.
  
  Meanwhile the 20 who are in the custody of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) for allegedly attempting to change their grades will soon be arraigned before court
  
  Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof Ebenezer Oduro Owusu, said the students hacked the school’s grading system to change their grades but failed to cover the traces.
  
  He told the National Union of Presbyterian Students (NUPS-G) on Sunday that the suspects are helping the BNI with investigations.
  
  “We are aware students [are] soliciting for help, linking up to people around, trying to break through our system to change grades and to do all sort of funny things,” he said.
  
  Grade manipulation by students is a worrying development that continues to engage school authorities. At least 10 students at the University of Professional Studies (UPS-A) confessed to changing their grades in 2016 a joyfmonline.com report is quoted as saying.
