A Ghanaian man has complained bitterly following the release of 2024/2025 school placement for Junior High School graduates who have gained admission to various Senior High Schools in Ghana.

This comes after his son, despite getting an aggregate of 17 in the BECE, was placed at the Demonstration School for the Deaf, Mampong-Akuapem, a school he did not select.
