Many have used this fact to assume that the young Ghanaian man works as a part-time auto mechanic.
While getting ready to move the car, a male voice was heard in the trending video hailing the Junior High School student.
According to the narrations in the video, the young man is in form one at the government school.
"A JHS boy is driving a car to school. So, are you sure you going to learn?" the male voice was heard saying.
Reactions to the JHS boy's car video
The video of the Ghanaian boy gained significant engagement on social media, particularly on TikTok. At the time of drafting this report, the video had racked up over 5k likes and 26 comments.
Considering that most of the students in the government schools are from homes with average incomes, many were surprised that the young man drove the Toyota Corolla car to school.
YEN.com.gh has collated a few of the reactions to the trending video.

"Ayoo, he has all right to drive but make sure that this government is no akkufo addo's government. Ghana is a discipline country now."

"You will be trouble because the boy is a minor and by law cannot drive."
@Bonsman reacted:
"Togo car only for wasa peoples..ɛntwenfamuu."
Reacting to this in a discussion with YEN.com.gh, Suleman Dadzie, an educationist and counsellor, advised the boy to focus on his books and avoid acts that would distract him from his studies.
"I think this is a common phenomenon in advanced countries, where high school kids drive cars to school, but over here in Ghana, the situation is different. While there's nothing wrong with what he did, I think that at this stage in his life, he should be more interested in reading books and taking his studies seriously than in driving cars to school. It may be misconstrued as showing off," he said.
JHS boy carries female classmate's bags
YEN.com.gh also previously reported that a Ghanaian boy in Junior High School showed his romantic side after he offered to carry the bags of his three female classmates.
According to the report, the JHS boy did this to ease the burden on the girls, who looked tired and stressed out.
A video shared on social media captured the thoughtful act of the young man, as they heard home from school.
Although the gesture was without any ill motive, a few people who chanced on the boy carrying the bags said he was crushing on one of them.
