The Ghana National Education Campaign Coalition (GNECC) has expressed concern over what it describes as an escalating wave of indiscipline within the country's pre-tertiary education system.
GNECC has warned that a growing trend of violence, brutality, and even murder in senior high schools threatens the core foundation of Ghana's educational system.
In a statement on April 11, 2025, the coalition described these disturbing incidents as a reflection of systemic breakdowns within schools-spaces that are meant to nurture character, knowledge, and safety. "Schools are increasingly becoming environments of fear and unrest," GNECC stated. "We must ask: What has gone wrong?
Is it the erosion of values, the weakening of disciplinary structures, or the breakdown in the school-home-community relationship?" GNECC believes the consequences of this rising indiscipline are far-reaching and require urgent, collaborative action among all stakeholders in education.
