Discipline in schools: A national wake-up call
The Ministry of Education has announced plans to convene a National Dialogue on Discipline in Schools to bring together key stakeholders to examine the causes of indiscipline and identify practical, long-term solutions. Addressing the issue on the floor of Parliament, the Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, stated: "There is a growing problem of indiscipline in our schools, and we must take decisive steps to address it."
Reports of students vandalising school property, assaulting teachers, bullying colleagues, engaging in examination malpractice, fighting, and other forms of misconduct have generated widespread concern among parents, educators, and the general public. While many widely reported cases have occurred in Senior High Schools, concerns about declining discipline are being expressed across the educational spectrum, from basic schools to tertiary institutions. The Ministry of Education has noted that responsibility cannot rest on schools alone.
