He came out as the best student of the 2007-year group and earned his BECE (Basic Education Certificate Examination) certificate at the same school. He then got admission into the undoubtedly best secondary school in Ghana and West Africa at large– Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (Legon PRESEC) where he studied as a Business student till he completed the school in 2011 with a WASSCE (West Africa Secondary School Certificate Examination) certificate.
That same year, he gained admission into the University of Ghana to pursue a First Degree in Adult Education and Human Resource Studies. Currently, Sean Taylor is a proud alumnus of the University of Ghana having graduated with a Second Class Upper Degree in Adult Education and Human Resource Studies- which he gained in 2015 after completion of a four-year programme at the university.
