Most people get 8As so if you get 12 dier forget admissions

Boy gains admission to KNUST needs support

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Wilberforce Osei Darko is a former Nkawie Senior High/Technical School student seeks financial support to further his education.

He had 6As and 2Bs in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) as a General Science student.

However, Wilberforce's mother, the sole provider for the family, cannot pay the admission fees and was hence appealing for support.
