• Netizens who took to the comment section of the video have shared varied opinions about the comment of the young man

An outgone head prefect of Nsein SHS has expressed concern regarding the categorisation of senior high schools.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on the YouTube page of HighSchool Africa, the young man, who recently sat for the 2024 WASSCE, wondered why one grading system was used to measure student performance across different categories of schools.

He questioned why one grading system is used for all students during the WASSCE when some schools are tagged as category A, which means they are better than others.

"If we are categorising the schools into category A, category B, category C, then why are we using the same marking scheme."

He opined that it was only fair that schools in each category are given separate grading since all schools are not considered to be at par with each other.

"If the category A schools have everything and the cateogory B schools lack those things yet they are still being graded equally, dont you think that is cheating," he asked the interviewer.

At the time of writing this report, the video had raked in over 1,800 views and 18 comments.
