Stakeholders are urging the government to implement sustainable measures in order to enhance the safety of teachers in public schools, following a rise in attacks on educators by students.
They argue that indiscipline in public schools is becoming increasingly prevalent due to the ban on corporal punishment.
This ban has led some students to feel emboldened to attack teachers over minor issues, prompting calls for school administrations to prioritise the safety of their staff.
These concerns were highlighted last Friday during a two-day seminar organised by the Centre for Maritime Law and Security (CEMLAWS) in partnership with the National Security and the University of Aberdeen, held in Accra Theme: 'The Role of the Educationist in Peace and Security' brought together stakeholders in the education sector, security experts and others to discuss violent extremes in our society and communities.
