Some students of Pope John Senior High School and Minor Seminary have been made to destroy their confiscated mobile phones during a school assembly.
The action is intended to discourage other students from bringing cell phones which are prohibited into the boarding school.
In a video shared on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, the students are seen using stones to painfully crush their phones in the full glare of their other colleagues who watched on.
In February 2020, the then Director-General of the Ghana Education Service, Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa, insisted that the use of mobile phones in Senior High Schools (SHS) was not allowed, as per the rules and regulations governing second-cycle institutions.
