He said the JHS graduate chose Wesley Girls Senior High School and had nine ones yet was still denied admission.

"She had all these but still couldn’t secure admission to Wesley Girls. The girl cry saaa..her mom brought her to my office to convince her but I failed"

Mr Asare, who believes the computerized school placement system puts students who completed private basic schools at a disadvantage, is advocating for raw scores to be used as a major factor in deciding who goes to what school.

He also wants the Senior High Schools to publish their cut-off points in order to address some of these challenges.

"Her heart and soul is in a particular school, and she has ‘killed herself’ but still…..she could have gotten same school with even 08-10 if she attended a public JHS.
