A total of 940 candidates have qualified for admission at William V. S. Tubman University, following the release of results from its latest entrance and placement examinations, with Mathematics performance emerging as a major area of concern.
The results were officially announced by Abraham W.Z. Amaning, Director for Quality Assurance, Testing and Evaluation at the University, who described the overall conduct of the examination as fair, credible, and transparent. However, he noted that the outcome highlights significant challenges in candidates’ performance in Mathematics.
According to Amaning, a total of 1,298 candidates sat the entrance examination. Out of this number, 940 candidates met the requirements for placement into various academic programs, while 358 candidates failed to achieve the minimum standard for admission.
Providing a detailed breakdown, he disclosed that 325 candidates successfully passed the examination outright. Meanwhile, 21 candidates failed English and will be enrolled in the University’s remedial English program. A much larger number—272 candidates—failed Mathematics and will be placed in remedial Mathematics classes. Additionally, 46 candidates failed both English and Mathematics and will undergo remedial studies in both subjects.
The Director emphasized that the high number of failures in Mathematics is a concern for the institution, underscoring the need for stronger academic preparation at the secondary school level. He added that the University remains committed to supporting students through its remedial programs to help bridge learning gaps and improve overall academic readiness.
Amaning further disclosed that the results have already been released internally and will be made publicly available within hours to ensure easy access for candidates and stakeholders.
The latest results reflect ongoing efforts by William V. S. Tubman University to maintain academic standards while also providing opportunities for students to strengthen their competencies through structured remedial programs.
