Taking a trip down memory lane, the teacher disclosed that he was transferred to a school with dilapidated structures with inadequate teaching and learning resources.

He detailed how students had to learn in classrooms without chairs, while teachers lacked chalkboards to write on, adding that students who graduated from the school in past years could only boast of an aggregate of 26 as their best result.

“As a teacher, I’m so proud of my students and myself. I came to a school that was operating under a dilapidated structure, with no standard chairs for students and teachers, and plywood as a chalkboard. Their best BECE grade was 26 in 2022. It’s 2025, and we now have aggregate 15, 16, and several in the teens.”

Ishmael Manfred commented:

“My ward’s passport picture has been swapped with someone else’s. What should I do?”

Yenbilla Timothy reacted:

“Post those you placed on pending for consideration last year. We are professionals with educational certificates. We are suffering, some completed in 2020 but are still at home.”

Francis K. Whyte opined:

“Leave no child home. Every child deserves placement.”

Mohammed Kamaldeen stated:

“Dear Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, please can you direct GES to have a second look at the academic calendar for single-track schools for 2025/2026? The breaks are too short, and teachers will be in school for 18 weeks. Please let’s do something about it since the workload is now too big.”

Girl cries over BECE results

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that two young Ghanaian girls could not contain their sorrow after checking their BECE results.

The duo cried out in disbelief after relatives informed them that they failed to achieve a single-digit aggregate.

Both had obtained an aggregate 20 during the 2024 BECE and felt disappointed after seeing their final results.
