Amid the celebrations, an interesting debate has emerged online, involving senior high schools whose former students excelled at the university with distinctive grades.
Social media users have been calling out some well-known schools whose alumni did not make the list of valedictorians at the University of Ghana this year.
In Ghana, it is common for senior high schools to engage in friendly rivalry, often using the academic success of their alumni in tertiary institutions as a source of pride and bragging rights.
The current discourse has shifted toward teasing some traditionally high-profile schools after students from less celebrated institutions secured places on the valedictorian list.

Nigerian student makes valedictorian list in UG
An international student at the University of Ghana, Ms Mofiyinfoluwa Motunrayo Samuel, has graduated with first-class honours after pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in French and Linguistics.
Mofiyinfoluwa, a Nigerian by birth, reportedly distinguished herself academically through what observers describe as intellectual curiosity, cultural engagement and a deep passion for language studies.
According to available information, her interest in the French language began at an early age, and she remained committed to pursuing that dream throughout her academic journey.
While on campus, she was an active member of Atelier Musique, a French-language music club, where she further immersed herself in Francophone culture.
In addition to her academic work, she pursued leadership development through internships with the International Leadership Foundation and the University of Ghana’s Transbureau.
She also volunteered as a French interpreter at the Africa Women Political Leadership Summit in 2005, applying her linguistic skills within international and policy-focused spaces.
Her achievement has been described as a reflection of dedication, consistency and a strong commitment to academic excellence.
