A mother’s choice not to let her son finish his education has shocked many people and made them wonder why.
According to a post on social media, the boy finished JHS and got into Presec, Legon, because he did well, but no matter what was done, the boy could not be registered.
The post said that an investigation showed the boy to be one of the best students in Tema.
Once he was accepted, his teachers shopped for everything on her prospectus. The trouble is that his mother doesn’t want him to stay at school.
It went on to say that this was because his mother’s faith doesn’t believe in education. After all, her preacher taught her that going to school doesn’t make sense.

“I need your help here.
A brilliant boy called Evans has been placed in Presec, Legon. He is apparently one of the best in his JHS at Tema.
His JHS teachers have already shopped the boy’s prospectus, but failed to convince the mother to enroll him. Social welfare at Tema is aware and involved.
The mother will not enroll the boy because her new faith does not approve of education. Immediately you call to convince her, you receive a block. I am in touch with her on my other lines and with my other voices and names.
I hear she attends a church called “God’s Kingdom at Last”. I saw a handsome young man as the leader on facebook. I am struggling to establish contact with the church leader.
While i respect their faith, I believe i can have a conversation with the church leader and intercede for the boy. Someone here can also talk directly with the church leader for us.
Its been two weeks of persuasion. Let’s hope it works.
Compulsion through the law courts should be the last option. It can take forever to litigate on matters like this, as we want the boy in school early January, yet have no idea where he is being kept.
Any help?
Ghana Education Service, please preserve the boy’s placement. He will surely report next year.
