WASSCE: Ex-Nsein Head Prefect Questions Why Category A And C SHS Are Graded With Same Marking Scheme

• The outgone head prefect of Nsein SHS has voiced his displeasure over the grading system for the WASSCE
• He believes it is only fair that schools that are categorised have different grading systems to assess their students
• Netizens who took to the comment section of the video have shared varied opinions about the comment of the young man

An outgoing head prefect of Nsein SHS has expressed concern regarding categorising senior high schools.

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

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, and category C, then why are we using the same marking scheme?"

He opined that it was only fair that schools in each category be graded differently since all schools were not considered to be on par with each other.

"If the category A schools have everything and the category B schools lack those things yet are still being graded equally, don't 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.

The donor gave her the money due to her eloquence and supported her opinion on the government's Free SHS policy.

The individual sent the money after Tricia’s take on free education at the senior high school level went viral.
