Management of UEW is actively engaging with GTEC to address all outstanding matters related to the notice, ensuring a swift resolution in the best interest of all stakeholders. 
3. Additionally, we reaffirm our commitment to providing quality education in environments that promote effective learning. All prospective students for the 2024/2025 academic year will be assigned to appropriate and learner-conducive study centres approved by GTEC for UEW.
