A volunteer of Zongo Youth for Discipline (ZYD) has raised concerns about truancy among students from some senior high schools in Accra after sharing a video of a location allegedly used by students as a hideout during school hours.

In the video circulating on social media and sighted by GhanaWeb on Monday, November 9 2026, the volunteer claims that students from St Thomas Aquinas Senior High School, Osu PRESEC, La PRESEC, Teshie PRESEC and Nungua PRESEC frequent the location instead of attending classes.

“This is where students from St. Thomas Aquinas SHS, Osu Presec, La Presec, Teshie Presec and Nungua Presec come to hide instead of going to school,” the volunteer said.

The video has drawn attention to concerns about students who leave home for school but allegedly spend time at locations away from their classrooms.

The claims have also raised questions about the extent of truancy among students and the need for parents, school authorities and community groups to work together to ensure that students attend classes.

However, the specific location of the alleged hideout and the circumstances surrounding the students’ presence there were not immediately clear.

There was also no immediate response from the schools mentioned in the video regarding the claims.

The video has renewed attention on the role of community-based groups such as ZYD in monitoring student behaviour and promoting discipline among young people.
