I don’t support anarchy especially where the perpetrators are our future young people we need to invest in. I am puzzled by one thing here though, who decides that students should not have a break especially Easter vacations which means so much to Christians? All the secondary schools in Ghana and West Africa are taking the same exams on the same dates and is this strict instructions generic and consistent across the board or not?

I would like to hear of a more convincing argument from the school and the Educational Minister other than just the speculation of the nearness to sit the exams. It’s a long second term and that’s why students get a break after the term is served all over the world. It’s very unfair on the students, teachers and other staff members who have to stay behind at school due to some individual’s egotistic ideas and decisions. Under such an un-thoughtful decision by the school governing body, the girls should be allowed back without any further punishment at all.

The Ministry of Education and the school head should note that they can be sued in the court of law for such negligence and wrongful decision should the parents come together on this and even from individual parents who think their child has been unfairly treated.

How much do you make a day from 400 boarding students away from school? Just imagine how much booty Mrs. Krah or whatever will make in 2 weeks? If 400 students are able to sneak out of school, then there is definitely something wrong with the administration. By the way, why are students still in school on Good Friday and Easter?

INSTEAD OF TEACHING OUR KIDS, LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO THEM. NOW THE CHILDREN ARE COPYING THE TEACHERS, DOCTORS AND NPP PARLIAMENTARIANS AND LEAVING THEIR POSTS.

THESE GIRLS ARE FUTURE WIVES/MOTHERS AND NEED BE TAUGHT HOW TO OBEY SIMPLE RULES. SO EDUCATION MINISTRY SHOULD STAY CLEAR AND BACK OFF!! PLS ALLOW THE SCHOOL TO TRAIN THESE STUDENTS FOR US. ENOUGH OF THIS INSANITY OF BEGGING AND ALLOWING LAWLESSNESS TO PREVAIL IN OUR INSTITUTIONS. CRACK THE WHIP AND UPHOLD THE RULES, OTHERWISE TEENAGE PREGNANCY WILL BE THE END RESULT.

Every institution in ghana has its own rules and regulations. Likewise KUGISS, I know 100% sure that at the point admission, a hand out containing thes rules and regulations are issued to the prospective students. Each offence has its own punishment.I remember somewhere 2004, 71 students were sacked for various offences, the late vice-president Aliu Mahama(may his soul rest in peace) intervened but did not work, yet the students were sacked intoto.Why today Ministry of Education wants to plead for these prostitutes for mere suspension? I want the MOE to answer me this simple question'WHERE THE MINISTRY OF EDUTION WHEN THESE STUDENTS WERE DISOBEYING THE SCHOOL RULES AND REGULATIONS? MINSTRY OF EDUCATION SHOULD LEAVE THE AUTHORITIES OF KUGISS TO MANAGE THEIR OWN AFFAIRS. WHO IS REGIONAL REPRESNTATIVE COUNCIL OF SHS? WHAT PROBE THEY WANT TO DO? THIS BODY IS SENSELESS BODY. KUGISS AUTHORITIES NEVER RESPOND TO THE SENSELESS BODY. I WISH KUGISS STAFF ALL THE BEST.

Let these young people know that there are rules that needs to be respected. Don't be intervening any how in disciplinary measures in schools, it does not help educate the youth. Stop this it is not the work of a minister!

It is important to discipline anyone who flouts rules and regulations but the disciplinary measure should match the infraction. I am a product of SPACO and I am forever indebted to that school and BH. My notoriety knew no bounds but those Catholic Fathers chiseled me (into shape). The stupidity of youth. SPACO's motto is "Vince in bono malum" - Conquer the "good" out of "evil". Give the girls a second chance otherwise they will become liabilities on society.

No wonder our kids are so spoilt rotten. They commit an infraction and the Ministry of Education begs for them if they are punished. Great way to raise our children

GES is a disgrace. This is a sign of indiscipline on your part. Is that the way you want students of today to grow up and take up positions of responsibilities and trust? Paul Krampah is an irresponsible man and does not deserve this position. No wonder, civil and public institutions are performing below par. Can they do this in a mission or private school? After you destroyed them morally and with these kinds of behaviours, can they work in the private sector?

I don't believe the Education minister is asking the school authorities to rescind their decision and no one should set a precedence for future disciplinary actions. The headmistress has done the right thing and that is it.

1. GES should rather advice the parents to take in their children at home, sit them down and advice them to obey school rules; meanwhile they should stay home and write the exams.
2. Let us also solve the overall indiscipline in our society. The different immoral shows that every adult Ghanaian watches are also available to our children! WHY?
3.Stricter rules in boarding schools implemented-If a child can't obey, fine pack and leave and allow obeying students live. These disobedient children are a bad crop for the obedient ones and we should discourage that.

You uys never points blaming fingers at those students. We have been students before. Could you beleave i was doing the same by sneeking to town and to do nothing but just going there and to town. We have all done so but when we pick up age and on our own thje ate of the World was opened and then widely there we got to know that all this thing were valuless. Thanks the education ministry for beging. Iam in Europe and also sending a pleading message to the authorities to take these students back as a deterant and to allow them to stay in the school and sit for their exams for the life that we encounter lies in our own hands. WE pray they all be allowed to et back to their study. At this time they will put the blame on the Headmistress but the coming future those who will succeed wll thank the head who would be in her old age. Thank you head for taking this action.

Why create disorder and now destroy the future of the young girls? Send teh girls back to school--and let the Headmistress learn to be an educator--rather than a prison guard.

MOE should learn to be disciplined in dealing with teachers and leave the headmistress to do the right thing. Do not set a bad precedence.
