She claimed that she discovered that the school is situated in a rural area near Kasoa, an area not typically associated with the educational facilities she envisioned for her child. She lamented, saying:

"I selected this school thinking it would be in a suitable location, but I never imagined it would be on a farm."

She added that the location was far from their home in Kwahu, making it logistically and financially impossible for her to manage.

Despite her efforts to seek a change in her daughter's Senior High School (SHS) placement, the mother claimed that those in authority informed her that it could not be altered.

This rigid stance has left the mother feeling helpless, wailing, and concerned about the implications for her daughter's education and well-being.

"Ghana should use the school district system, like America. If we do so, the gov't will be forced to develop all schools. I think that was the idea of the E-blocks."

@Mayor_Of_Surrey commented:

"Let the system work and stop these protocols and change of schools .🏫"

@EdemKumbe said:

"This is the problem. Parents do not go to their wards' school when the school selection is being done. They leave it to the child and the teachers, and when placement comes, they now want their children in schools they want and not where the children chose."

@Nanakofiwaddle opined:

"Only in Ghana, when the system works, they don’t like it... You choose school, dem give you, now you say you no dey like, so make government do what exactly?"
