Judge orders failed student back to school

FRANCISTOWN: A former Francistown College of Education (FCE) student who failed and discontinued at the end of the 2008 academic year was yesterday ordered by the Francistown acting judge, Dr Kholisani Solo, to go back to school and supplement her work.

"The crisp issue is whether fail and discontinue was contrary to the regulations of the college. The academic regulations did not at all provide for the award of zero percent for the research project," Solo pointed out.

He further stated that in terms of the academic regulations, whether the research project was submitted or not, that could not have resulted in failure and discontinuation.
