President of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), Angel Carbonu
The President of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), Angel Carbonu, has called for urgent and decisive action to tackle the growing violence in Ghanaian schools.
He warned that lenient disciplinary approaches have made many institutions ungovernable, threatening the quality of education.
Speaking on Citi FM on Thursday, May 22, Mr Carbonu criticised current student discipline policies, saying they have failed to curb indiscipline and have negatively affected both teaching and learning.
“We will have to stop romanticising the issue. We will have to take very drastic and draconian measures because we are not in normal times,” he stressed.
He also condemned the use of foreign disciplinary models, which he believes have been ineffective in the Ghanaian context.
“Nobody should come and jaundice this situation with alien disciplinary prescriptions that are not working,” he emphasised.
Mr Carbonu lamented that Ghana’s education system has tolerated such ineffective policies for too long, resulting in a breakdown of governance in schools.
“We have tolerated alien disciplinary prescriptions in this country to the extent that our schools and institutions are no longer governable, and this is affecting learning and teaching in the schools,” he said.
