An urgent multi-stakeholder meeting has been requested by the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) to address the rising levels of indiscipline in senior high schools. Thomas Tanko Musah, the general secretary of GNAT, thinks that the loss of morality, conscience, and value system in schools is a serious concern that requires quick attention.
As an organisation, GNAT expresses concern about some pupils’ level of confidence and indiscipline, comparing it to the current state of galamsey practice in the nation. In order to find a long-term solution to the growing problem, it demands that the Ministry of Education, Ghana Education Service, the Parent-Teacher Association, and other organisations conduct an urgent meeting. He made these comments in response to the death of an O’Reilly Senior High School senior.
Godwin, a fellow student, is accused of stabbing Edward Borketey Sackey to death during a heated argument about whose father was wealthier. Shortly after the 18-year-old had completed an exam on Monday, September 2, incident happened on the school’s grounds. A cousin of the deceased who was present at the scene said that the stabbing occurred during an altercation with Godwin.
After being stabbed three times in the chest, the victim was declared dead when they got to the hospital. The suspect has been sent to two weeks in police custody by the La District Court. Godwin, 18, is accused of killing a colleague on Monday, September 2, with a knife. He has been charged with murder. He was taken into custody on Tuesday, September 3, and on Thursday, September 5, he showed up in court. His next court date is September 19, 2024.
