Asiedu, the degrading and inhuman treatment is wrong, unconstitutional and can never be right just because they are JHS students. First and foremost, they are human and the headmistress should be ashamed of her actions. I support her dismissal or some sanction and that is the way the lawlessness in Ghana could be checked.

Yes, it was wrong for the students not to attend assembly but this was common in every secondary school when I was in boarding schools in the 1970s. They should have been punished but not degraded and disgraced.

I think the headmistress is single and frustrated so she wanted to satisfy her curiosity by looking at almost naked young men. If she is married, perhaps her husband is denying her body's desires. She is a disgrace not fit to be headmistress.

Very sad to read this piece from you. I think you stoop too low in your analysis by attacking, wrongly, the personality of the Headmistress. If she is starved of sex, you think she would seek gratification in seeing teenage boys in boxer shorts. The woman was addressed as Mrs Charlotte Asante and you asked whether she was married? Let Cambridge has influence on your thinking. Your conclusion is highly erroneous. How could this single act alone, if true, make her unfit to become a headmistress? In the UK I read of an English girl who was sacked from school because she braided her her; she was inculcating foreign culture. Her parents appealed against the dismissal and it was upheld. The head of the school was not dismissed. Do you think governments do not make mistakes? Do you not make mistakes? If you abuse the rights of your children, then you should be made not their father again? If you drink drive and you are caught you should not drive again? If you have an accident as a driver, you should not be allowed to drive again?

I don't see anything wrong with their punishments. It is this human rights nonsense that is rather destroying our youth. Every youth think they have rights. Why were they absent when it is part of school rules to be at assembly. Thumbs up head mistress. Those human rights fools should rather advise the DEAD GOAT. Ghana's situation is getting out of hand if u know what I mean.

Ghana is secular state. Corporal punishment and its excesses is child abuse. We are a modern state and we are evolving as a people. Corporal punishment is barbaric and the ministry of education must enforce its abolition. The bible is an ancient jewish historical document written by barbarians so it is wrong to administer our public schools with archaic and colonial models.

B Franca the headmistress was wrong to humiliate the boys by parading them in their boxer shorts and then giving each of them 10 lashes. The only offense of the boys is their failure to attend morning devotion. First of all, Ghana is a secular state bot a christian nation as many christians would like it to be so there should be separation of religion and state. No student should be forced to worship in any school. These foreign religions must be confined to their churches and places of worship. Secondly, the abolition of corporal punishment must be strictly enforced in all schools by the Ministry of Education. Finally, school authorities must be professional in their administration and respect the rights of students. If my child is canned by a teacher, I'll sue in court.

Lucky that they were not even suspended. I remember vividly when I was in school on the ridge in the 80s.Staying in the dormitory during social gatherings was an offence that was considered very serious and u were lucky if u were lashed and made to go an 'sin no more'. I remember two tutors lashed some form five students for not being present at morning devotion. We did not hear of anything like human rights at that time. I wish they give the schools to those human rights advocates to run. That is the bane of our society today. I support the headmistress. She should continue to lash them. If you think you cannot obey simple rules, just leave the school.

There was nothing like Boxers at the forecourt of the assembly hall it was only one student who was indisposed of boil ( pompor )whom the senior house master brought to the forecourt of the assembly hall together with the rest who were not in boxers alone but were in their uniforms so the head mistress ordered the house master n the school perfect to right down their names n submit to her for action. Even i suggest the insider who sent the info must thoroughly be investigated n punished. The headmistress did not announced for the whole SHS's within Kwahu to cm n witness such thing moreover APSEC is a mixed school so what is the big deal about tht. or r some ppl trying to do politics with this? hmmmmm God save us

The answer is very simple: discipline and respect for the rule of law and order.

Those human rights organizations: the question I have is how do they expect her to enforce discipline to students who violates school rules?

She should have summarily withdrawn them. Democracy does not mean we should produce undisciplined young people. Such a nation has no future. That country cripples under the nose of democracy. Democracy means rule of law and that the laws are blind to status quo of offenders. Democracy thrives best in disciplined society where the laws are well respected.

GO TO THE UNITED STATES WHERE HUMAN RIGHT REIGNS. I REMEMBER IN CLASS ONCE (EDUCATION CLASS) WE WERE DISCUSSING THE PROBLEMS WITH THE YOUTH. THIS WAS IN THE UNITED STATES. ONE OF MY CLASSMATES OVERWHELMED BY WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO YOUNG PEOPLE EXCLAIMED: "TEACHERS, IF WE DO NOT DO IT, THE COPS WILL DO IT" IN THE STATES, THE CHURCH HAS NO SAY, TEACHERS HAVE NO SAY, PARENTS HAVE NO SAY BECAUSE OF HUMAN RIGHTS. US LOOKS BEAUTIFUL OUTWARDLY. WHEN YOU REFLECT ON THE YOUTH, YOU MAY BE WORRIED OR SCARED FOR THEIR FUTURE. HUMAN RIGHTS. WE WANT TO BE EXACTLY LIKE THE OTHER NATIONS, WE HAVE OUR BEAUTIFUL CULTURE - WAY OF DOING THINGS. LET US NOT THROW EVERYTHING OUT OF THE WINDOW. THESE YOUNG MEN MAY LAUGH OVER THE INCIDENT IN FUTURE. THEY SHOULD ALSO BE CONDEMNED. DOING THE RIGHT THING WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE PUNISHMENT, THESE SAME PEOPLE WILL CONDEMN THE HEAD IF THE SCHOOL PERFORM BADLY.

We are a sovereign nation. We should always invoke our sovereign immunity when confronting foreign intrusion. This foreign intrusion has been the cause of problems in Africa. We have to standup against the so called Western propagandist. We have a fine culture we have to strongly guard. SELF RELIANCE.

The headmistress' action was stupid and excessive. She had several other options to apply as a consequence for the boys cutting morning devotion. It is not true that students from mission schools are more successful than their counterparts from government schools. Many students who attended govt high schools, graduated from Universities in Ghana and abroad so stop being arrogant here.

Human Rights, you have nothing to do. In our school days, we suffered more humiliations than what you are complaining about. We received cane lashes in our bare hands, buttocks, thighs. On one occasions, a girl lost her beads in the caning process. And it happened during the colonial days

I won't allow any stupid educator to parade my child almost naked in front of an entire school. There are limits when it comes to discipline. The lashes we got those days were wrong anyway and nobody stood against it. Times are changing and things have to change in our schools as well. There are many forms of punishing students without attacking their dignity as human beings. I wish a teacher would shove a cane down the asshole of your child one day. Loser.

Most of the heads of schools are idiots who still have a primitive mentality of discipline. heads have to be re-trained and face legal action if they continue to abuse these kids.

The activities have failed in weighing the effects of their prescription on countless children under the care of the headmistress. Does she have the right to livelihood? How many people will stop abuses to children because of her sack? Has she ever done one good thing? Can the activists swear to God of their innocence in the same offense? I think their reaction is too emotional!

The Human Rights Advocacy Centre(HRAC) I think have lost their minds for them to ask for the dismissal of Madam Charlotte Asante as the Headmistress of Abetifi Presbyterian Senior High School for asking some male students to parade in their under wares before their mates. I think they have no better thing to do and that is why they are wasting their time on such flimsy and humane issue. After all, the punishment the Headmistress meted to the students for their failure to attend morning devotion was more humane than asking them to cut grass or go fetch water for the school cafeteria or some teachers. To be honest to HRAC, if I were in their shoes and was given such punishment, I would gladly and willingly parade before the school than to receive a severe and hash punishment such as sending me home for some period of days(suspension).

It only pains me that those defending the act do not have their children among. Ghanaians complain only when it is done to them. To others it is ok. Poor Ghana.
