Ishak Mohammed commented:
"Making it in life doesn’t always depend on WASSCE results; it depends on hard work and dedication."
Kwame Marfo commented:
"People are making it out there who didn't even complete JHS. At least this one passed through JHS and reached this point."
Bili Moses commented:
"There is a bit difference between passing a school test and passing a life test. It is possible to pass both, fail both or fail one and pass the other."
Kadiri Aliu commented:
"He can even make it bigger than those with All A1S in life, but why Pong-Tamale Sr. High school?"
Students blame schools, supervisors for poor results
Meanwhile, amid continued criticism of this year's results, several 2025 WASSCE candidates have expressed several concerns regarding their papers.
This time, some are placing the blame on their schools and exam supervisors, claiming that the exam questions did not fall under the topics they had studied.
In a video by JoyNews, the students insisted that they had studied hard and written something, so they did not understand why they received such poor scores.
