Deputy Minister of Education, Dr. Clement Apaak has revealed that government has initiated a number of measures to tackle indiscipline in Senior High Schools.
According to the Deputy Minister, the Education Minister, Haruna Iddrisu has given permission to managements of secondary schools to search students as part of measures to resolve indiscipline amongst SHS students, which hitherto was never permitted under the previous government.
In addition, he noted that PTA meetings have been restored to allow teachers and guardians of students deliberate on more improved ways to discipline students.
Dr. Apaak said the policies are only two of many others yet to be rolled out by government.
The Builsa South MP further disclosed that the Education Minister has directed the Director General of Ghana Education Service (GES) to work with the GES council to initiate further immediate interventions, as government work to implement holistic reforms recommended by Ghanaian via the National Education Forum.
