'One Man,' a trader at the Dome Market in the Greater Accra Region, has shared a heartbreaking story of how poverty forced him to become a cobbler to pay for his Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) registration fee.

In an interview on TV's Everyday People, One Man recounted the numerous challenges he faced growing up, including his inability to attend Senior High School (SHS) after completing Junior High School (JHS).

One Man, as he preferred to be known, explained that while he was in school, his father fell ill for a very long time, which caused his education to come to a halt.

He said his father remained sick from the time he was in JHS 2 until he reached JHS 3.
