Speaking in an interview, the headmaster of the school, Ampofo Nuako, revealed that five of their students have been unable to sit for this year's WASSCE, excluding the two students in question.

The lady revealed what gave her the courage to mingle with her colleagues and write her exams while pregnant.

“I’m in my seventh month, and it may not be advisable for a student to do what I did but since it has happened, I can’t say I won’t write because of shyness. Because of my future, I’m not ashamed of writing with my pregnancy”, she said.
