The Serwaa Nyarko Girls' graduate took part in the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
The examination started on April 21, 2026, with practical papers, while theory papers began on May 13, 2026. The examination concludes nationwide on Friday, June 19, 2026. However, depending on the course a student studies, the person may finish before June 19, 2026.
SHS student receives a car gift
In a heartwarming video, the mother of the SHS graduate arrived from the United Kingdom (UK) after eight years to surprise her daughter.
However, she not only came to surprise her daughter with her presence but also brought a Toyota RAV4 as a gift for her child.
When the young lady came out of the exam hall, she was lured by some of her classmates to the area where her mother was standing.
The fresh SHS graduate jumped and hugged her mother tightly as soon as she saw her. The mother, after hugging her daughter, presented her with the car.
All this while her schoolmates looked on happily as a saxophonist also played some tunes.

Reactions to SHS graduate's car gift
YEN.com.gh collated some reactions to the video shared on Facebook by Frimp Happy. Read them below:
Fuseini Kuntse Alhassan said:
"Ghanaians should not be surprised if a Ghanaian farmer also surprises his child by bringing a crocodile. Me school no kraa m3n wie...3no ne me surprise."
Inno Cent wrote:
"Those of us whose parents dashed us to the school during our school day are watching with one eye closed 😆."
Eben Songs said:
"Wait! This growing trend of parents presenting cars to students immediately after SHS graduation on school premises needs serious attention. Schools promote uniformity through the same uniforms, hairstyles, and standards for a reason. Public displays of wealth at such moments can create unnecessary pressure, comparisons, and feelings of inadequacy among students."
Frimp Happy responded:
"Eben Songs, she left her daughter for almost 8 years and travelled, all these years she decided to surprise her bro relax 😎."

"Hope you paid the guy extra for the dodging and hiding 😁. Beautiful moment."
