The girl, who has been in the UK for three months, said schools in Ghana and the UK could not be the same. She also mentioned that the learning materials are different in the two countries.

On technology and the availability of chairs in schools, she said they never went to the computer lab when she was schooling in Ghana, but now she has access to a computer.

Desks meant for one student has two or more learners sitting on it. As for the UK, there are many chairs, and you can sit where you want. You can also stand; the teacher will do nothing to you."
