Mfantsipim @ 150: Top 12 WASSCE-performing SHSs to receive GH¢2m each from GETFund – Haruna Iddrisu
The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has announced that the 12 best-performing senior high schools in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) will each benefit from GH¢2 million in GETFund support to expand their infrastructure.
Minister of Education Haruna Iddrisu urged traditional rulers, religious leaders, parents, and students to join forces in combating the rising indiscipline in Ghanaian schools during the 150th anniversary celebration of Mfantsipim School. Iddrisu stressed that addressing misconduct in educational institutions necessitated a collective national effort, emphasizing that schools could not rely solely on authorities and the government.
Speaking at the event on Saturday, November 14, Iddrisu expressed concern over the growing and unacceptable indiscipline in Ghana's schools. He advocated for the involvement of traditional authorities, church and Islamic leaders, parents, and students in restoring discipline and ensuring safe learning environments. The Minister's call for collective action comes amid growing concerns about misconduct and inappropriate behavior in second-cycle institutions, with calls for stronger collaboration between school management, parents, and communities to tackle the issue.
Iddrisu emphasized that discipline was crucial for fostering responsible students and preserving educational standards, suggesting that traditional and religious institutions, alongside parents, must contribute to instilling values of respect, responsibility, and accountability in young people.
