Reinstate corporal punishment in schools – Prof. Adinkrah-Appiah

Education, Ghana News
Ing. Prof. Kwadwo Adinkrah-Appiah, Vice-Chancellor of the Sunyani Technical University is advocating for the reinstatement of corporal punishment in schools. At the 63rd Speech and Prize-Giving Day of the Sunyani Senior High School, Prof. Adinkrah-Appiah expressed his concern about the increasing deterioration of discipline in schools nationwide. He attributes this trend to the Ghana Education Service's 2017 ban on all forms of corporal punishment. Prof. Adinkrah-Appiah said that the absence of corporal punishment has led to a laxity in the system, allowing students to engage in various deviant behaviours like smoking, alcoholism, armed robbery, and hooliganism without appropriate consequences.https://cdn.vuukle.com/widgets/quiz.html?version=1.11.12Advertisement He believes it ...
