Mr. Frank Anderson, a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) student in the Department of Special Education of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) has been jailed for admission fraud.
The convict who has since been dismissed by the institution currently faces other charges of admission fraud, certificate fraud, and falsification of academic results. The modus operandi of Mr. Frank Anderson who has gained notoriety in his act, was presenting himself as someone who could manipulate grades, resolve IC grades, and secure “Protocol Admissions” for a fee ranging from GHS 1,000 to GHS 3,000.
“Despite their attempts, there was no evidence that they accessed UEW’s official grading system (OSIS 2) to alter results. Instead, they created falsified PDF versions of students’ results and fabricated WASSCE certificates to facilitate fraudulent admissions. Mr. Anderson and his accomplices primarily operated within the Suhum, Mangoase, Nsawam, and Winneba areas”, a statement from the institution dissociating itself from the fraudulent activities of the convict revealed in part.
It added” The University of Education, Winneba (UEW), hereby completely dissociates itself from the fraudulent activities of Mr. Frank Anderson. He acted independently and without any authorisation from the university.
The University of Education, Winneba upholds the highest standards of academic integrity and does not condone fraudulent activities. The university remains committed to working with law enforcement agencies to ensure that all individuals involved face the full consequences of the law.
The University of Education, Winneba (UEW), is firmly dedicated to preserving the integrity of its admissions and academic processes. All official university procedures must be adhered to rigorously. Consequently, UEW will relentlessly pursue and implement robust measures against fraudulent conduct”
