The University Relations Officer at KNUST, Dr Norris Bekoe, encouraged parents to request for proof of school fees payment from their ward always and check on the academic performance and behaviour in school.

Dr Norris Bekoe highlighted that there are students who pay little to no attention to their academics, which is the main reason why they are in school and they end up obtaining Cumulative Grade Points Average (CGPA) which is below the passing mark.

When that happens, they are forced to reply for fresh admission and start all over again sometimes, without the knowledge of their parents, 3news.com reported.
