This is according to the Juba University Vice-Chancellor Prof. John Akec.
“If your Cumulative Great Point Average (CGPA) is equal or above a cutoff point, you are promoted to the next class, irrespective of number of subjects you failed,” Akec said in a tweet seen by Sudans Post.
“If your CGPA is below the cutoff CGPA, you repeat the year by retaking only the subjects you have failed,” he added.
He further said “All students are entitled to repeat the same year only once. If you failed to move to next class for a second time, you are discontinued.
He added that “anyone who failed to move to the next year for first time in the same year and has been discontinued is entitled to repeat.”

This makes sense. No where in the world can you advance if you are failing your courses. No one would want a doctor who gets only 20 % of his work correct to operate on them; nor would you want a mechanic who does not know how to fix a vehicle to work on your car. Nor would you want a pilot who has failed his exam to fly your plane. Students need to do the work to expect promotion. There is too much in the world that young people should just be given everything they want and not be expected to work for it. Parents pay much money for young people to study. It is time that the younger generation take responsibility and be accountable for their actions and stop blaming everyone else!
