Reinstitute Flogging in Schools - Owusu Andrews tells GES
The decision of failing to flog indiscipline students has brought no respect between teachers and students.

An Educationist, Mr Owusu Andrews has pleaded with Ghana Education Service (GES) to allow teachers to flog "rebellion" students when they go wrong.
According to him, the rise of indiscipline in students’ is because teachers are not allowed to discipline students when they exhibit disobedience.
He stressed, “there is no respect between teachers and students because teachers aren’t allowed to go on flogging students or discipline them like before, hence students are not afraid of their teachers any longer”.
This also comes in after some SHS graduates indulged in the act of rebellion in the country, due to over-excitement and others out of anger for not having access to the questions beforehand.
Some male students have burnt their boy’s dormitory after they wrote their last paper.
Speaking to the media on the need to address rampant rebellion against teachers, he asked the GES to as a matter of urgency allow teachers to start flogging rebellion students.
He bemoaned, that some of these students feel entitled to having access to questions “apor” before they sit to write their exams.
He emphasized, that the students who successfully burnt down their dormitory must be punished and made to foot the bills of rebuilding the dormitory.
“Their parents will be made to pay for the necessary materials in rebuilding the dormitory and the students must be punished.
Adding, that this will serve as a deterrent to others and a way of discouraging rebellion among students”.
