Typical Ghanaian. If the problem is the extravagance, why not ban the giving of gifts etc at graduation. Why ban all graduations? A case of killing an ant with a sledgehammer.

Gh leadership and their stupidity. I went to my higg school prom..to those of you who don't know what a prom is. It's a school dance. You can go by yourself if you dont haveva girlfriend or boyfriend or a date. You wear a suit. On prom night, it is customary to give your date a wrist corsage or a small bouquet of flowers that complements the color of their dress. In return, your date gives you a boutonniere (a single flower or small cluster) to pin on your suit lapel..some.even book hotel.rooms, rent limousines and a driver etc..I didnt have that luxury.i think its silly for the minister to be doing this..everyone is entitled to how they want to celebrate after they graduate..if it's outside of the school's agenda,let them.you have tea hers sexing their students. You have teachers abusing students physically..you don't have the common sense to issue a memo banning such but you are going after this?

The Minister has no business canceling graduation ceremonies because he disapproves of some parents giving their graduating children lavish gifts. Yes, allow the graduation ceremonies to continue, but advise parents to hold private graduation parties away from school grounds, and at these private parties, parents can then be free to shower their graduates with whatever gifts they choose to give them. I wonder if the Minister would dismiss all teachers just because one teacher was caught having a sexual escapade with a student? That cancellation is nothing but a rush to act, an act that punishes the majority of students whose parents did not engage in the gift-giving that he disapproves of. It makes no sense to read an article and then hastily jump into action without thinking things through.

Students spend hours, days and years learning. Graduation is the climax of their efforts and achievements, joy and celebrations. Some parents even present gifts and even cars to their graduating students. I think if the ceremonies do not cause troubles and endanger lives and properties, and are done in normal graduation proceedings lasting just few hours, this directive is misplaced. Graduation is done at the end of school year and in no way affect, disrupt academic success, teaching and learning.

Good call by the minister. When did this SHS graduation creep in? If a parent think they have money they won’t to display they should find proper channels to do it rather than using our secondary school children to show their pomposity. Besides secondary school is not even a degree yet!!!! It is halfway to a degree so why the celebration? It’s like playing a football game and celebrating because you have successfully made it through halftime. JUST BECAUSE A PARENT CAN AFFORD EXTRAVAGANCE DOES NOT MEAN WE ALLOW THEM TO DO IT. The mental health and moral fabric of our TEENAGE children are at stake.

When I completed sixth form at TAMASCO in 69 you wrote your exams and quietly went home to await the results with trepidation.
How times have evolved. The only exhibition of ostentation was the weekend parade of car-ful privileged elite visiting their wards with provisions galore to the envy of those of us from villages.
There was no such thing as graduation ceremonies let alone expensive gifts of cars etc.
One may well say it is a different time.However I support the action of the minister.There is no need to blindly copy the decadent harmful Americanism. Our education system is degraded enough as it is with the extremely poorly executed so called free senior high school.

I don't think you get it. Gifting can continue but do it in your houses or wherever you feel like. The ministry did the right thing. The graduation is theirs but the gift isn't. They've taken their thing. Take your gift elsew ...

Since you're on the subject of the cost of living, will you also attack rich people for buying luxury cars or living in mansions? Why should the cost of living determine what gifts parents choose to give their graduating chil ...

This stupidity must be stopped immediately.
Extravagant funeral celebrations to extravagant graduation ceremonies.
Meanwhile there are no toilets facilities in many homes in accra
Kaakyire nua of the Bush because i don't think any of your family members have even seen a plane in the skies or airport before..
Sell your vagina at east legin and osu you will easily buy toilet for your house or you can just go stand on the street corner under the traffic lights and wear tight Jinz....say Ginzs....not jeans but ginzs
The hypocrisy. Look at these ministers with police escorts riding in a convoy of V8s. And here he is complaining about extravagance. Pottle meet kettle. Tweaaa.
Don't.mind this fool his head like professional toilet carrier
Students spend hours, days and years learning. Graduation is the climax of their efforts and achievements, joy and celebrations. Some parents even present gifts and even cars to their graduating students. I think if the cerem ...

Are u really serious? Do you even understand the directive? Check the history of schools in Ghana, whether ceremonial graduations were part of SHS. These are distractions introduced by authorities who didn't know what they we ...

Do you understand graduation? You complete school with no certificate in hand at the that material moment and you call that graduation?.
Yao woy3 aboa. How can a young man proposed to an SSS graduate in a school premises just after she finished writing her final exams? And now cars are given to them just because they have done writing. The nonsense in the hous ...

Where was the minister when this stupidity in SSS started? Sleeping on the job until people on social media started complaining. The greed and opulence from politicians is trickling down to our schools
Beware of your Muslim education minister. The next will be a demand for all female students to wear hijab and males to grow long beards. It is creeping in in bits.
Curtail the extravagance and ostentation, not ban the actua ...

Only brain dead idiots will carry out such lavish gifting to students at graduation ceremonies on school grounds and not expect to draw unwanted attention. Parents have every right to gift their graduating students any gift i ...

A step in the right direction. High Schools are not locations for fashionable displays. What happens to the emotional state of those students from poorer families?
Welldone. Ghana is becoming something.Bad influence.
Ghana is a funny joke! From extravagant one week celebration, funerals, weddings, chieftaincy and, now in SHS graduation...where the students are not even certain of passing their exams.
And all of this in the midst of p ...

Well done Mr minister. I don't even understand when this practice started. Where from all these things?
The GES should also ban the JHS graduation ceremony as well. It an avenue for extortion from parents and guardians. A school in Takoradi is charging eaxh graduant @1000ghc.
I agree, you can do it at home or organize a private one when they come home. Good job.
When did this nonsense start and where?
Generally Ghanafuo has opulence and extravagance oo. Mostly stemming from Poverty and leading to thievery and under development. Next shd target funerals and similar stuff. Enough is enough.
White European brought modern civilization to Ghana..They see cars as heaven that is why they are foolishly displaying it ..Without the white man, Ghana will be Without civilization.
I really applaud you for doing that. Infact cancel the whole celebration and send them home to celebrate and mail each and every student their certificate of completion. Thanks Minister of Education

Great Great Great. Ghanaians are just something else
This is the reason why some parents should pay for their ward.
This materialistic nonsense is copied from the United States. Very good that the Ministry of Education has put a stop to it. Americans can live their lifestyle which we don't want here in Ghana.
Minister you have done well. If some parents can gift their children who complete shs cars as gift, then what of if they complete universities. Some parents let prayers be the gift to your children not wealth thank you
Thank you
Hon, thanks for these statements, though you and your party are not my fun, but truly speaking with your vividly statements of this issue made my day, the displayed of stupid wealth by some irresponsible parents is unbearable ...
