    Great performance, but I hope the young lad is not being pushed just for the record of being the youngest to be admitted to the university. Has he made a decision to be a teacher, why the rush?

    This nothing to boast off.
    Rather it is an abuse way of the educational policy.
    This has to be properly checked, no matter how good the child may be academically.
    At what age did this child started his basic school?

    I am wondering how he got into sss. There is no longer common entrance where students could write the examination regardless of class!
    Is it a case that his parents jumped him through the levels?

    Most of these geniuses jump classes. Some even write NOV/DEC at SHS 2 to accelerate their schooling.

  • Lost Childhood to make an unnecessary Point 10 hours ago

    The worst of it, he's being trained as a teacher with no lived life experiences to share with future students in his class.
    Kids can't even cope with peer vices, and you place this average grades kids with adults.
    This is a ...

    The article says that his brother entered the school at age 13 so, the question is, where is the senior brother? Life is not about race because eventually, we are all going to exit this planet one after the other.

    Sharon, with all due respect, what is the meaning of "A common teacher"? Without a common teacher, how did you learn how to read and write?

    At times, we have to be careful with the words that we use. Teachers are very impo ...

    But a common teacher taught you. And you want them to go extinct. I'm sure your children look down on their teachers because of your orientation. Please repent

    It beat my mind, 12 years in university. It means he completed jhs at age 9, started jhs at age 6, if he went through primary education, he started class 1 at age 0, is that possible. Someone should explain to me

    He probably ended up in Legon or Tech, but not in any less recognized universities. And the course he read, his performance in university, and his career path should be tracked to see if he’s happy

  • Name 9 hours ago

    Neither Legon nor Tech and not in Africa at all: I'm talking about Germany.

    None of my 4 kids even know Ghana: they haven't lost anything there !!
