Prof Asare reacts as Ghanaian universities fail to appear in African rankings
Professor Stephen Asare, has expressed his disappointment about the inability of Ghanaian universities to appear in a global ranking of law faculties.
Not even a Ghanaian university was listed in the latest Times Higher Education World University Rankings
According to professor Stephen Asare, it is important for Ghana to dissolve the General Legal Council (GLC)
A number of factors could be fished as the reasons behind the inability of Ghanaian university to appear in the rankings,he added.
In his view, the General Legal Council (GLC) and the Ghana School of Law (GSL) have not lived up to their mandate.
For that reason, he explained, the framework to turnaround the fate of legal education in Ghana remains the same, leaving no room for transformation.
Professor Asare, also known as Kweku Azar, explained that South Africa, which claimed all the slots for Africa in the ranking, has unique features which make legal education at the tertiary level appealing and practical.
The University of Pretoria topped the African ranking with a score of 41.8 out of 100, and claimed the 90th position in the world.
