Education holds the key to success and most people are able to survive through that, many developmental projects are done in a country through being educated on how to do them.
In Ghana we have a lot of educational institutions that are helping citizens to improve upon their capabilities and to be able to stand and compete wherever they find themselves.
We all are not equal, some are intellectually good but handicapped when it comes to practical things while others are practically good but lack some intellectual element. Based on this in my candid opinion, students must be given equal opportunities to be enrolled into schools whether they pass examination or not.
This is not implying that students must not study hard but i have observed for some time now that some students drop out of school and they live the lives they do not desire because they are denied access to continue because they fail examinations.
It is sometimes not their fault because some of them no matter how hard they try, passing exams theoretically is very difficult but when you put them on filed, they can practically pass and pass very well.
Most students pass very well in examination theoretically and get the best jobs after school but when you put them on the field, they do not perform as expected and that is where productivity goes low.
Some of these students who are denied access to further their education because they fail exams end up on the street as armed robbers , prostitutes or find themselves in unprepared parenthood situation and the same society will criticize them for not doing the right thing. We can not fold our arms and watch some things go wrong before we take action on them.
Sometimes it is really sad that as a country we have eligible people who are willing to work very hard but due to access being denied them to further their education, their efforts in the economy are wasted .
Some upon writing several times and still failing in their exams commit suicide out of frustration because they do not get the right motivation to keep them moving on when they find themselves in situations like that.
We don't have adequate institutions in the country to accommodate all students who graduate every year but no matter how difficult the situation may seem, there's always a better way out only if we are able to plan well
I plead with the government, private institutions and organizations to all come together and help our future leaders to have access to higher education than to drop out of school because they fail their exams theoretically or practically.
