Why is Thomas Amoani so popular?

Thomas Amoani gained national attention after completing Adeiso SHS in 2020 with 8As in the WASSCE.

In a video posted by Graphic Online, Amoani narrated how he had to walk six kilometres from his home at Asuaba to attend classes at Adeiso SHS every school day.

His story caught the eye of President Nana Akufo-Addo, who directed the Scholarship Secretariat to offer him an award.

This enabled him to further his studies in the UK at Brunel University. Amoani arrived on the campus with joy and promised not to fail Ghana.

He recently emerged as the overall best student in Economics at the university graduated with First Class Honours.

BECE to be cancelled

YEN.com.gh also reported that the Minister for Education said basic-level students would soon no longer have to write the BECE to enter senior high schools.

Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum stated that the change was mainly the result of the Free Senior High School Bill which was tabled before Parliament.

He explained that the Free SHS bill would classify junior high schools as lower secondary schools and not as part of the primary school system.
