    What's makes him responsible. I see him as an ignorant father. You can learn and pass a language that you're fluent in with distinction if you follow the rules. Do you know that alot of students pass French as a subject by le ...

    A tribalistic man saw her Akan name and gave her the high mark. In the same breath the examiner will see a name different from that of Akan and mark him/her down.

    Know that BECE is not a specialisation level. It's just a requirement for placement.

    Children can speak English but can't write.
    What about this too?

    To pass means to know the rules and apply them.

    Baba My, I fully agree with you. Most private schools pay their way through in order to attract more students on the premise of having good teachers who teach well.

  • AKP 11 hours ago

    It is possible for students to learn and pass a language that you're not fluent in it. If you're a serious student had the right teacher and resources. French is an example.
