Gov’t hints at tougher measures against growing indiscipline in schools

Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has hinted at plans to review the punishment regime in the country’s secondary schools to empower the Ghana Education Service (GES) to deal decisively with growing acts of indiscipline among students.

Concerns about indiscipline in Ghanaian secondary schools have grown in recent years, with reports of drug abuse, violence against teachers, and disregard for school rules.

The conference, he explained, will bring together education stakeholders to deliberate on strategies to curb misconduct in schools.
