"This course really gave me a tough time. I sat in the exam hall for more than 30 minutes without knowing how to answer the questions. It's not an easy course at all, trust me," he said.

Another student, also unidentified, said none of the courses he took at the training college gave him a hard time like Edustat, adding that he struggles to grasp it even after burning the midnight candle.

"I wish I could even cry, the course was not easy, it's only by the grace of God that I was able to graduate," he also said.

Despite these challenges, the trainee teachers expressed gratitude to God for helping them sail through four years of tertiary education.
