Tragedy
struck in the South Campus of the University of Education in Winneba, Ghana as
a 100 level student was found dead in an uncompleted building.
Solomon
Obeng, said to be a Basic Education student, took his own life on February 14,
Valentine’s day, because he had gotten 3Es in his examination.
The
deceased was found hanging in the building and it is believed that he committed
suicide.
According
to the University’s regulations, obtaining 3Es in an examination meant an
outright dismissal after grades have been displayed on the school’s notice
boards.
Some
students who could not fathom why the deceased committed suicide considering
the fact that ‘the results could be manipulated’ told 233 Live News the
University management was to blame for the unfortunate happening.
“Why
should someone’s world come to an end because he is unable to get 50% in an
exams?” a student, Nana Kwasi Frimpong asked.
