It is this light that the Deputy Minister for Health, Tina Naa Ayeley Mensah, has praised a pregnant student who is sitting for the 2017 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) at New Gbawe Experimental School in the Greater Accra Region.

When she saw the six-month-old pregnant Janet Opokua, she told her she was happy the student has been bold to write the exams.
“I am not happy that you are pregnant because our society abhors premarital sex among young boys and girls however my joy lies in the fact that you have not given up on yourself.”
According to Daily Guide newspaper, Janet Opokua said she has adequately prepared for the examinations which begin on Monday, June 5, 2017.
This warmed the MP’s heart causing her to embrace her. Tina Mensah urged her to ensure she scores good grades in order to qualify for Senior High School.
