"Parents have saved enough to support their kids further their education because of FSHS. A child whose parents couldn't cater to their wards in SHS can do so at the tertiary level, that's what gov't is saying."

@nambepatrick reacted:

"St. James diie, top oo, my nephew got 6As, B3 in English, and B2 in social studies. The money now be the problem. Everywhere make sheee."

@PromzyKingston commented:

"Instead of going for an apprenticeship, he should rather work whilst he explores scholarship opportunities. Master Card is available for students who have stayed home a year after she. GNPC IS ALSO THERE. Apprenticeship is not the way forward if he wants to further his education."

@EFaruk14 posted:

"Help will surely come if not now very soon. For now, those with big engineering firms around can take him as a trainee on probation, with some monthly allowance, and also mentor him on savings. After a year he can apply and things will be easier cus he has practical experience."
