'Gross indiscipline' in schools demands urgent action - National Chief Imam
The National Chief Imam, speaking through his spokesperson Sheikh Aremeyaw Shaibu, called for urgent and coordinated action to address "gross indiscipline" in Ghana's educational institutions at the fourth Ghana Muslim Leaders and Catholic Bishops Dialogue in Accra. He warned that this trend poses a serious threat to the country's moral and social fabric. He stated, "There is growing concern about the spate of indiscipline plaguing us in all facets of our national life. Of even greater concern and worry to government, society and stakeholders in education is the spectre of gross indiscipline and hooliganism in our educational space."
The Chief Imam observed that the issue has sparked an intense national conversation on how to restore discipline in schools, making this year's dialogue timely and necessary. He announced that a joint working committee would be established to oversee the implementation of recommendations from the meeting. He expressed optimism that the collaboration between the two faith communities would help strengthen moral values.
