A sixteen-year-old boy left paralyzed after he was stabbed during a rally of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the run-up to the 2016 election is not giving up on his education despite failing to report at a Senior High School he was posted to at Kwahu due to his paralysis in 2017.
Determined not to allow his condition to deny him an education, Prince Boateng has been studying feverishly to resist this year’s Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) to get reposted under the free-fee senior high school policy despite being bedridden.
Boateng was in form 2 at Koforidua -Asokore Salvation Army Junior High School in the Eastern Region when he was stabbed whilst returning to the house from a political party rally organized in the Asokore vicinity by the then opposition NPP and addressed by then-candidate President Akufo-Addo.
