"All Children are not the same, so don't neglect or maltreat those who couldn't pass their Basic Education Certificate Examination or West Africa Secondary School Certificate Examination; rather counsel, motivate and give them chance to succeed in their second attempt. Some might not be talented through formal Education", he said.

Mr Mohammed Alhassan, who was speaking during the School’s 5th Annual Seminar and Dinner held at the Goaso Pentecost Preparatory School in the Ahafo Region on the theme "Achieving Academic Excellency, The Role Of The Parents" noted that some parents and guardians forsake their children who couldn't pass their final year exams whereby forcing some of the victims into social vises whiles others end up committing suicide. This, he noted could be avoided when parents refrain from such attitude because failure to pass exams is never the end of their life.

He encouraged parents to start playing their role right from the day their wards step their foot in the classroom which is to guild, encourage and monitor the activities of their wards education to prepare for a positive outcome. He also reminded them of the need to provide the needed logistics and materials for their children to excel in school.

In an interview with ghanadistricts.com, the Director further called on teachers to be up and doing even though they are doing their best, appealing that they upgrade themselves to meet the dynamics in today’s educational system.

Mr. Mohammed Alhassan who was worried about the rate politician are playing with the country's educational system noted that frequent changes in curriculum has been hectic for students to follow and understand the syllabus as some teachers even do not sometimes understand what they are teaching.

He called on government to direct the curriculum from the current grammar curriculum towards technical and vocational curriculum where students after completing their education can work on their own to reduce the high rate of unemployment among the youth today.
