Young Raphael (L) opening up about his days in his basic level education
A 10-year-old boy called Raphael Asomani has set tongues wagging and left many in admiration of his remarkable feat as the youngest student at Adisadel College Senior High School in Cape Coast, in the Central Region.
Currently in his first year at one of the country’s renowned A-list senior high schools, Raphael, in a video interview with a colleague, seen on GhanaWeb’s Facebook page, stated how he took his final examination for basic education, the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), at the age of 10, an exceptionally-rare achievement.
Sharing some background on his basic education, Raphael stated that he completed Holy Child RC Basic School at Sakumono, Accra, at a young age, gaining admission to his current school after excelling academically.
“I’m from Holy Child RC Business School inside Sakumono and I wrote [BECE] at Global Trust Academy. I wrote BECE at age 10,” he said.
His achievement has been admired by many Ghanaians, who believe that his intelligence and exceptional abilities may have led to his promotion to higher classes ahead of his peers.
As a result, they believe that he sat for the BECE at the age of 10, whereas the average age for taking the exam is typically around 14 years.
Raphael, currently studying General Arts, hopes to make another mark and achieve a new milestone in his secondary education.
Given his age, he is expected to complete his studies between 12 and 13 years old.
