In the serene corridors of learning, where chalk dust mingles with dreams of a brighter future, an insidious intruder has once again asserted its devastating presence.

The recent tragic closure of Bawku Senior High School, following the fatal shooting of a student, Hakim Kundima, on campus, serves as a stark, heart-wrenching reminder: education, often seen as an unassailable right, remains profoundly vulnerable to the tremors of conflict.

As the echoes of gunfire replace the familiar rhythm of classroom discussions, and final-year students face the daunting prospect of imminent examinations with schools shut down, Ghana stands at a critical juncture.

This moment demands not just sympathy, but the urgent, decisive activation of its meticulously crafted Education in Emergency (EiE) Contingency Plan, a document designed precisely for such a grim reality.
