The Africa Education Watch (Eduwatch), has called on the government to urgently review the Positive Discipline Policy as part of efforts to combat rising cases of indiscipline and violent behaviour in Ghana's senior high schools.
Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, Eduwatch's Executive Director, Kofi Asare, emphasised that the policy, introduced approximately seven years ago, has reached a point where its effectiveness must be critically assessed.
According to him, the current approach to promoting discipline in schools has failed to yield the desired results, necessitating a comprehensive review to address its shortcomings.
Eduwatch's call for a policy review comes at a critical time when stakeholders are grappling with the need to balance the protection of students' rights with the need for effective disciplinary measures.
