Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum said immediate steps are being taken to bridge the gap between high schools in the country.
Yaw Osei Adutwum, Deputy Minister of General Education, revealed that clashes in two high schools in the Upper East region resulted from the absence of student leaders.
Students of the 3rd form, elected prefects, have finished and left school, while second-year students to whom the power is entrusted are also on vacation.
This leaves only freshmen in school, due to the implementation of dual track policy at the secondary school level, observed Dr. Adutwum after recently meeting with officials educational institutions in the region.
Disturbances
Two secondary schools in the Far East region, Sandema Technical High School and Kongo High School, remain closed following student riots. Sandema SHTS was shut down last week as a result of rioting of some of the students, alleging bullying by the school's cadet corps.
The local police were called to calm the situation, but his interference was fatal. The police shot when the students threw stones at them.
On Monday, July 22, students from two ethnic groups of Kongo SHS clashed after a disagreement.
The closure of the two schools, at the request of Regional Minister Paulina Abayage, will allow investigations into the disturbances as well as the death recorded during the Sandema SHTS incident.
"What I understood is that there is essentially a void in leadership … because Form Ones [students] are at school. These prefects were in third grade and third grade. [maybe] the new leaders were selected in the form 2 and the students of the form 2 left [for vacation], Said Deputy Minister Osei Yaw Adutwum to Myjoyonline in a conversation, Wednesday, July 24.
Because of the void, students have no leader among them as leaders with whom to declare or share their grievances, which drives some of them to do themselves justice.
Election of the leaders of the form 1
But the deputy minister, who is the deputy of the Bosomtwe constituency in the Ashanti region, said immediate steps were being taken to bridge the gap between the country's high schools.
Thus, first-year and first-year students will also elect prefects from the various departments who will work in close collaboration with the student representation boards (CRS) composed of prefects of the third category. This will allow Formula 1 and 2 leaders to take up the torch each time their elders are there, the need, he revealed.
"Now, we have to make sure that each level of form or clbad has leadership in the dual track system … and all will work together in the CBC so that when forms 1 and 2 are not there , the prefects of Form 1 can take over as leaders, because we know that student leaders play a vital role in the administration of our schools
Dr. Adutwum acknowledges the important role that student leaders play in the administration of schools across the country and is committed to bridging the gap quickly "… and to ensure that it is n & # 39; There will be no students in the school without leadership ".
