Eighty-two students of the Wesley Grammer School in Accra, have been dismissed from the school for poor academic performance.

The students, from Forms One, Two and Three according to Times, failed almost all their subjects during their promotional examinations in November last year. Their dismissal took effect from January 31.

Another 80 are said to have been repeated with 102 others warned against possible withdrawal.

Very Rev. Emmanuel K. Churcher, Headmaster of the school, in an interview with the paper on Friday attributed the students' poor performance to lackadaisical attitude towards learning and some parents' refusal to pay the school fees of their wards which made their wards easily absent themselves.
