“My child chose Achimota School as her first choice and Ghana National as her second choice, we were expecting that even if she doesn't get the first choice she should get her second because her colleague in class who had aggregate 16 has been placed at Ghana National yet she who had 15 has been given Accra Wesley Girls which is even her fourth choice and a day school. When she was filling out her form she never selected a day school”, he said.
