Please note: Some of the students who have only recently graduated from school are older than you would expect. In the cases listed here, it is not for lack of ability or diligence, but money. If fees are not paid by the end of the year, students are barred from the examination that allows them to progress, and must repeat the year, regardless of their standard of achievement. For these youngsters, $10 or $20 is often completely unavailable.
