Below are how some Ghanaians have reacted to the whole school placement saga…
Nana Kwame Trigah – So this same people wey go come do nurse in future nu
herh oman nu asei walai…35 grade and u are proud wow
SirPatrick McAduoning Mensah – This reminds me, BECE I had 11 even kumasi Anglican didn’t select me. Second placement came and I had Osie Tutu, I was thinking it was Osie Tutu we all know, not knowing there is one Osie Tutu bi at a certain village in Ashanti region, I went there and even the statue of Osie Tutu discouraged me
Taadi Banyinba Gh – BECE, aggregate 34. How are these children doing it cos our days you’ll feel shy to even tell your friends if you get like 15 mpo. There should be a cut off point for this free SHS thing at least aggregate 6-20, Above that you will pay school fees. They refuse to learn and their aggregates are greater than their age twice or more.
onathan A. Syme – I’m surprised she is feeling soo entitled after getting 34. She is even comparing herself to other people. I got 9 in 2003 and I was even shy because other colleagues got 10 ones and things.
