Arhbenarh Kizzkhid added:
“I think Ama Ataa wasn’t expecting these results, that’s why she is crying. But Kwaa Atta is aware of his own.”
Aldy Irish opined:
“BECE can be something oo. I’m very good but BECE did me dirty. My WASSCE grades were excellent though. These children can do better, BECE is not the end of life.”
Maame Dedaa wrote:
“I told my daughter she had 45 and I started crying. She also started crying with me. Then she stopped and asked if it was her name on the paper when I checked.”
ADDAE JUNIOR stated:
“So Ama Atta played first half and Kwaa Atta also came to play the second half, right? Good 90 minutes performance.”
