Caution to graduates against immediate Nov/Dec resit
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, a youth mentor, Enam Afenyo, admonished SHS graduates who performed poorly in the WASSCE against immediately resitting the examination.
“I would not recommend immediately considering Nov/Dec if your WASSCE results were poor.First, there is no guarantee you will perform better. I have seen too many cases where individuals fall into a prolonged, demoralising cycle of continuous resitting. Before they realise it, four or five years have passed with no work experience gained.”

Reactions to ongoing self-placement at UG
Ghanaians who visited the comment section of the video offered diverse views on the situation faced by the SHS graduate, with some advising her to look at other universities in the country.
Love commented:
“My sister, go to nursing school. I understand your pain. I also went through that. I had 15, and they didn’t give me admission . After all this stress, paying 300 cedis for transportation and all that… hmmm. Some nursing schools offer a degree.”
Chabby Chay:
“Do the diploma. When you’re done, you can top-up to get the degree.”
Heart added:
“Do the diploma and later do the degree afterwards.”
DANELÈ stated:
“They should take their school; we’ve had enough already.”
Yaw Dwarkwaa indicated:
“Well, for me, I advise you to take a decision that will best suit you. The University of Ghana is not the only university in the country offering your desired program of choice. Try UCC, and thank me later.”
ccandypeach09:
“But I thought you said you met the cutoff, dear 🥹… it’s not too late; try other universities, okay? Your dreams aren’t over.”
dzi_dzi:
“Come to my school and offer Food and Nutrition; they’ll pick you ASAP.”
maame_kyerewaa.aaa:
“They’ve released the new cutoff points. Nursing and Midwifery is 15, and Public Health is 9.”
