  "account": "Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has called upon Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to spearhead a nationwide campaign against the rising indiscipline in Ghana's schools. He urged traditional rulers to join forces with him in restoring discipline within the educational institutions. The appeal came during the 150th anniversary celebration of Mfantsipim School in Cape Coast, where Iddrisu was a special guest. He proposed the slogan, \"Yɛmma school mmra no yɛ adwuma,\" emphasizing the importance of adhering to school regulations. Iddrisu stressed that the campaign should encompass promoting respect for authority, responsible conduct, and accountability among students, as well as the wider society. He noted that the campaign would go beyond simply enforcing rules; it would foster respect for teachers and community leaders, and instill self-respect in students. Iddrisu emphasized the necessity of involving church and Muslim leaders, parents, and students in the effort, as schools alone could not tackle the growing issue of indiscipline. He announced that he had formed a committee to advise the government on measures to improve discipline, with the Catholic Church's chairmanship.",
