SHS graduate 21, with excellent grades turns fuel attendant

Darko Benjamin, a brilliant but needy student completed Presbyterian Senior High School-Legon in 2021.

The science student had grade “A” in Mathematics, English, Integrated science, Social studies and Elective Mathematics.

He also had grade B2 in Biology and B3 in chemistry and Physics.

The former student of Mile-50 M/A Basic School in New Juaben South made aggregate 09 in Basic Education Certificate Examination in 2018 securing him posting at Legon- PRESEC.

Despite demonstrating academic excellence, Darko Benjamin’s wish of pursuing any medical science related courses at the University has been impaired by poverty from a broken home at the village with little hope.

He has not been unable to purchase admission forms for University since completing Senior High School because of what appears to be helpless situation he finds himself.

However, Darko who is now a fuel attendant at Kumasi says he has been able to make some savings to purchase university admission forms for the next academic year hoping to get support from an angelic helper.

His father, Kwabena Gyewu, a farmer and tailor told Starr News, despite willing to support his brilliant son’s education, his income is nothing to write home to pay for university fees.
