The conversation around discipline in Ghanaian schools has taken a new turn following a recent viral video showing a student from Accra Academy Senior High School using a cutlass to flog two of his peers.
The shocking incident has reignited concerns about the apparent erosion of authority within schools and the growing culture of indiscipline among students.
Speaking on Channel One TV, Thomas Musah, the General Secretary of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), did not hold back in his assessment of the situation. "As a nation, character and conscience, we have lost it.
We are now training people with knowledge, but for their character and conscience, we have lost it," he lamented.
