The Ministry of Education has directed immediate action following the circulation of a viral video showing a student allegedly assaulting another student.
The incident, which has sparked public concern and debate over discipline in schools, has been formally brought to the attention of the Ministry. The footage has since been forwarded to the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) for further investigation and appropriate action. “I’ve since forwarded it to the Director General of GES for action,” he said.
Deputy Minister for Education, Dr. Clement Apaak, confirmed the development, stating that the Ministry is treating the matter with urgency given its implications for discipline and safety within the educational system.
He assured the public that the Ministry remains firmly committed to maintaining order in schools and will not condone any form of indiscipline or violent behaviour among students. “On behalf of the Honourable Minister for Education, I wish to assure the public that we will not tolerate acts of lawlessness and indiscipline in our educational system,” the Minister said.
Dr. Apaak emphasised that the government expects all educational institutions to uphold standards of discipline and responsible conduct, adding that swift action will be taken to ensure accountability.
According to him, the Ministry, through the GES, will ensure that all individuals found culpable in the incident face the necessary sanctions in line with established disciplinary procedures.
He further stressed that indiscipline in schools will not be tolerated, reiterating that the education sector must remain a safe and conducive environment for teaching and learning.
