GES calls on parents, society to take responsibility to address growing indiscipline in schools

Speaking at a national conference on stemming the growing indiscipline in schools in Sunyani, he said students were effectively being raised in “two worlds” — one where schools demand discipline and respect, and another where they see adults disregarding those same values.

According to him, the values taught in schools must be reinforced at home and in society if efforts to curb the growing cases of indiscipline, including gang-related violence and attacks on teachers, are to succeed.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has called on parents and the wider society to take greater responsibility for growing indiscipline among students, warning that schools cannot tackle the problem alone.
