In a viral video, an aggrieved mother spoke to the media about her situation and why she had come there.
According to the yet-to-be identified mother, her daughter got an aggregate of 35 but failed to get to a school but her friend who had 39 got her choice school.
The woman noted that her daughter informed her she performed very well during the exams so they are wondering why she got that grade and even failed to get any of the schools she selected.
Adding on, she said her daughter’s friend who got aggregate 39 was placed to her first choice of school.
She mentioned that her daughter chose schools like Aburi girls and Mfantsiman.
