Dambai (VR), Oct. 02, GNA – A 41-year old
father of seven, Moses Ahlidza, has gone back to school and joined his second
child in class five.

The fisherman told the Ghana News Agency (GNA)
he decided to go back to school because his children often discussed issues in
English language during fishing, and he felt left out.

He said his first child was in Junior High
School three and the School Prefect, the third in class six, so he was
comfortable and happy to be back in school.

Mr Ahlidza said his fourth and fifth children
were also in basic three while the sixth and seventh, in kindergarten one and
two, all at Atsigode near Dambai, in the Krachi East Municipality of the Volta
Region.

He said he had the support of his wife and
promised to enrol her too, after he completed.

The fisherman said his father married seven
women and gave birth to 20 children, none educated.

He said he started school in 1990 but went to
school once a year and later dropped out.
