Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>STUDENTS at the National University of Lesotho (NUL) took to the streets yesterday to protest the delay by the university to release their last semesterresults.
\nThe students alleged that the delay had resulted in them failing to access their stipends from the National Manpower Development Secretariat (NMDS).
\nThey claimed that the NMDS relies on the lists of registered students from the university who would have passed to process further payments.
\nThe students said they will continue to protest until their grievances are addressed.
\nYesterday the students disrupted classes as they marched at the campus in Roma, singing and chanting on the pavements.
\nThey were holding long sticks and singing Mona ha rea tlela masaoana (We have not come here for nonsense) while chanting around the school\u2019s premises.
\nThe NUL SRC president, Tumo Tsanyane, told thepost yesterday that some students who had sat for supplementary exams had not received their results.
\nHe said without the results, the \u201cstudents are not able to renew their scholarship with (the NMDS)\u201d.
\n\u201cThe students are not able to know their academic stance whether they will be proceeding to the prospective year or are set to repeat the entire courses,\u201d read a letter of grievances addressed to the vice-chancellor.
\nThey also said post-graduate students in the Faculty of Education had also not received their results.
\nThey also complained that some Masters in Clinical Social Work students submitted their academic work in May and are still awaiting dissertation feedback from external examiners.
\nThey complained that the students at the IEMS campus have no Wi-fi at their campus to access internet services even in the computer rooms.
\n\u201cResults at IEMS have not been issued to this day.\u201d
\nThey said classes at the main campus should be halted until all students are registered.
\n\u201cStudents are suffering an irrecoverable prejudice with lectures continuing while others are stranded,\u201d the letter reads.
\n\u201cLecturers have started getting on with their coursework for those who are doing practical courses.\u201d
\n\u201cStudents\u2019 Cards (must) be issued and the university must announce reasonable dates for such to happen.\u201d
\nThey added that the supplementary results should be issued within five working days so that students know their fate.
\n\u201cWe wish to further indicate that failure to respond to such thorny grievances, the students in accordance with the Student Union constitution shall embark on a peaceful and constitutional protest to compel the university to adhere to the grievances mentioned above.\u201d
\nThe NUL Pro-Vice Chancellor, Professor Kananelo Mosito, told thepost that the school system is being fixed and is expected to be operational as soon as possible.
\n\u201cThey gave the vice-chancellor their letter and it will be worked out,\u201d Professor Mosito said.<\/p>\n
