The Ghana Education Service (GES) is set to meet with the heads of schools captured in a widely circulated viral video showing violent conduct among students.
The meeting, scheduled for today, forms part of efforts by the education authorities to investigate the incident and determine appropriate disciplinary and corrective measures.
Swift Response to Public Concern
The disturbing footage, which has sparked widespread public concern and debate on social media, allegedly shows students engaging in acts of violence during a school-related activity.
In response to the outrage, GES indicated that it is taking the matter seriously and will engage directly with the affected school authorities to establish the facts and ensure accountability.
Officials say the meeting will provide an opportunity to hear from the heads of the institutions involved and assess the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Ensuring Discipline and Student Safety
GES emphasised its commitment to maintaining discipline and safeguarding the welfare of students across the country. The Service reiterated that violence and misconduct in schools will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
The outcome of the meeting is expected to guide further action, including possible sanctions and the introduction of preventive measures to curb similar incidents in the future.
Call for Calm and Responsible Reporting
The Service has also urged the public to remain calm while investigations are ongoing, cautioning against the spread of unverified information.
Education authorities say they remain focused on strengthening supervision, guidance, and counselling structures within schools to promote peaceful coexistence and uphold the standards of Ghana’s educational system.
Further updates are expected after the meeting concludes.
