    Maybe it's the way it's written but I still don't see how you'll make poor grades and be admitted to KNUST. Did he rewrite the exam? All this story is telling me is that life rewards laziness and no effort.

  • The Spear 5 months ago

    That's what I thought, too. But you know, everything is possible in Ghana...and everywhere, for that matter.

    A Nigerian University lecturer once asked; "Why is it all the students who perform very poorly academically, do s ...

    After dealing with students over 30 years, I know some students are late developers.When they understand where they are and what is going on, then the sky is the limit.

  • THANK YOU KOJO 5 months ago

    You know what and how education is about.

  • KOFI 5 months ago

    Thank you. Not everyone develops an interest in education in their early years.
    Attainment in education is very different for everyone.

    ANOTHER DOCTOR?!!!

  • KOFI 5 months ago

    Yes Ghana needs them. The only thing is that they should move out of the classroom and create things in real life.
    That is why in the UK today, there are Professional PhDs.

    So how did he gain admission at KNUST with these E & F in chain results?
    Did he better them by re-writing them through Nov/Dec or gain admission through connection because everything is possible in Ghana.

  • Ha 5 months ago

    Great question! I’m wondering too. How did he gain admission with those chains??? Can he explain so that people will know how to navigate such things? One thing I don’t like about Ghanaian journalists: they don’t ask th ...

    He wrote Nov/Dec which he excelled in all subjects and gained admission to KNUST to read economics

  • The Spear 5 months ago

    Is that what he told you? At least you didn't get this from the article. In fact, it's actually a contradiction to what's stated here.

  • Ghanaba kwaku 5 months ago

    This tells you our education system is very bad and needs total overhaul. How come those who fail in Ghana excel abroad? A friend of mine is a typical example. We thought he doesn't ' know book' as we normally say , but he is ...

    How many House, Car, and Business does he has if I may ask ? Success is measured in Ghana by the aforementioned. Teaching students abroad is not an achievement worthy of boasting. Your nation must benefit as well from your "s ...

    This is sheer arrogance! Being a lecturer does not make you successful brother. There are people with worst experience as you have, doing bigger things but they don’t talk.

    Greatness. Go high as you have gained the platform. It's very hard to learn in Ghana to understand well than to learn in Europe or America

    They're not impressed because of his last name, They always mistakenly think PhD should only be attached to their names, You've seen what a 4 in chains boy from chichibong has done ? Go figure.
