Authorities at the Ghana Lebanon Islamic Secondary School (GLISS) in Accra, alongside the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), are raising alarm over a fast-growing slum that now shares a boundary wall with the school-prompting serious concerns about student safety and campus security.
According to school officials and PTA members, the emergence of the slum poses a direct threat to students, exposing them to potential social vices and criminal activities that could undermine both their safety and academic performance.
GLISS, known for its commitment to quality education, is now grappling with an environment that stakeholders say is becoming increasingly unsafe.
The proximity of the slum has become a source of anxiety, with concerns ranging from drug use and theft to fears of students being negatively influenced by behaviors observed in the nearby settlement.
