Peeps react to the Mfantsipim success in the exam
Social media users who took to the comments of the post celebrated Mfantsipim School for excelling in the quiz. Many also praised Mankranso SHS.
Ekow Supremo reacted:
"There should be the same competition across all JHS to solidify our basic schools for better SHS. We should focus more on the JHS as well if we want a proper education system as a country."
Al Mateen stated:
"GSTS and Mankranso did well in the first round. The only mistake they made was continuing with the next rounds. They could have asked permission to use the washroom and, on that course, run away. In fact, the only thing that will beat this Mfantsipim team this year is rain. Congratulations, my guy!"
Wayasco Moni added:
"But their true/false alongside the riddle was fantastic."
Wahab Inuah wrote:
"Mankranso Snr High, you have really done well. It's more than a win. Come back stronger."
Bhig Bhrain opined:
"Is the morale ongoing, or has it left like those who wanted to stone the woman Jesus saved?"
Nel Sy stated:
"Herrh, my school couldn't sail through to the finals. Ei GSTS, next year, I go contest. So no Western Region school is alive anymore in the game."
