Mrs. Attakorah Augustina also disclosed that, some of the parents who allow their wards to come to school also take them to farm early in the morning before they come to school late in the morning which most of these children miss first and sometimes second lessons.

He said, many children who pass their BECE are not able to go to SHS because of lack of adequate preparation by their parents. This inversely has psychological and social effects on these children who are denied by their parents the right to enjoy the free senior high education.
