We have been begging for school safety and security for our kids since Boko Haram kidnapped hundreds kids from their school.Instead Mahama is spending millions of dollars on millionaire footballers and billions of cedis on illiterate shock jockeys to promote him in radio shows.When you approach GES about security and safety concerns they call you "too know" and worst names in your face.Meanwhile our kids are increasingly harmed and killed in accidents that could have been easily and cheaply prevented through basic common sense measures.I hope the bereaved family hires a competent lawyer and sue the school and GES and take the case all the way to the supreme court.I will gladly donate to a fund raiser for their court cost.And regardless of the outcome at the courts the GES and schools around the country will be shamed into taking steps to resolve these lapses in security and hazardous conditions in the schools.

"It is unlawful for any student to go outside the confines of the school without permission" is one of the many common school rules in most Boarding Schools in Ghana. If a student is caught in violation of this or other rules there are consequences to be faced. If a student sneaks out and is not caught he/she gets away with law breaking after all from the students' perspective 'school rules are meant to be broken otherwise they are useless'. But, before we even start to apportion blame we should first find out what rules have been put in place in this particular school. If the school allows students to go out anytime without supervision then the school must be held liable for this tragedy. Also if the school authorities gave the student the permission to go out at that ungodly hour to meet her boyfriend they must be liable. However, there was the possibility of the girl sneaking out of the school compound unnoticed as the school authorities cannot keep 24/7 surveillance on every student; and if that was what happened in this case then I am afraid you are placing the blame at the wrong arena.

Jack can you please enlighten me, I completed my secondary school in 1984, l have lived outside the country for 28yrs although I have been going home I don't keep tracks with the education system. During my days, it was fetching water and logs to the school kitchen and maybe doing the washing up. Parents have paid the boarding fees and I don't understand why they should buy bags of cements. I will appreciate it very much if you can take the time to explain why PTA meetings for such programs are brought up and to the extent of it being agreed on.

Most of the established secondary schools have been left to their fate. Unfortunately they are not allowed to charge any extra fees to Mai rain or develop the schools. What is happening now is that PTAs and most often old students have the burden of building structures and supporting the schools. It is therefore not surprising to see students buckets of I ain't yo school. That is the situation now.

Once you enter the confines of any institution, its is incumbent on that institution to ensure your safety and security. The mother of the girl who was killed, is within her right to hold the school liable for her death. The school failed to provide adequate security, leading to her daughter leaving the campus undetected. The mother should seek the help of an attorney to sue the school.

"She ....wondered how her daughter managed to move out of the school at the full glare of the school authorities and security" i sympathize with the grieving mother. may God comfort her. too, too many drivers forget that a highway has different speeds at different points, and that in town, they must slow down for safety! However, i'm unable to reconcile the then "disobedient" girls "breaking bounds" with the grieving mother's position on the loss! Unless her daughter was leading a double life, she ought to know her in and out! as far as i know most school authorities, if not all, forbid students to have phones in school, besides prescribing when boarders must not be outside school premises! Unless she is only seeking sympathy, or is so overwhelmed at her loss that she is confused, in which case she needs to be forgiven, she has only herself to blame if she did not train her daughter "in the way she must go"! if she did, then the latter is to blame for being doubly disobedient - for not only breaking bounds but doing so in order to collect an item that was forbidden on school premises! many students break the law at one time or the other, and she may be the average student so we should not hold it too hard against her, true! Would that justify finding a scapegoat? that is yours to say or ponder! May the young girl rest in peace and may we all, parents, wards, boys and girlfriends, school authorities, drivers and pedestrians all play our part to avoid such unnecessary and painful losses! God bless mother Gh
