Some might look at this and think the grading system looks the same but it is not, whereas 90-100 is an A and D is a pass in the common grading system worldwide, it is not the same for tertiary institutions in Ghana. An A is from 80-100 and a C is a fail, you can imagine the amount of pressure students are under to do well in school, adding insult to injury each major comes with its own set of grade points making it very difficult to obtain a B in some highly competitive majors. The only similarity between these two systems is they both use the grade point average (G.P.A) as a way of assessing whether a student is failing or passing.

Famous quotes containing the words tertiary and/or education:
“Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.”
—Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
“... many of the things which we deplore, the prevalence of tuberculosis, the mounting record of crime in certain sections of the country, are not due just to lack of education and to physical differences, but are due in great part to the basic fact of segregation which we have set up in this country and which warps and twists the lives not only of our Negro population, but sometimes of foreign born or even of religious groups.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
