Gifty Twum Ampofo, the Deputy Minister of Education in charge of
TVET, has revealed that the ongoing rise in student indiscipline in the
country's various academic institutions is impeding the government's
goal of increasing and improving ongoing infrastructure projects in the
schools.
The Deputy Minister, in response to the recent upsurge of student
riots and indiscipline behaviors displayed by some senior high school
students and many others across the country, admonished students to
refrain from such acts because the majority of these behaviors result in
the destruction of school property.

some basic schools in the Abuakwa North Municipality in the Eastern
Region to donate learning materials to the students as part of an effort
to mark my first day at school a few weeks after school reopened.
The Minister reiterated that students' indiscipline in recent times
should be of national interest therefore she believes that to find an
immediate solution to salvage the situation it beholds on teachers,
parents, and religious leaders to collaborate with the Education
Ministry to help instill discipline in the students at all levels.

beneficiary schools include Atukrom Methodist upper primary,
Kukurantumi M/A Basic School, New Tafo SDA Basic School and A.M.E Zion
Primary, and Anyinasin Methodist School.

sharpeners, and erasers.

municipality of which she expressed optimism concerning the work done
and pledged that her outfit will ensure the projects are completed and
commissioned by the end of the year.
