According to Cassandra Twum Ampofo, the head of the public relations division at the Ghana Education Service (GES), the organization is currently working to harmonize the educational rules of conduct so that they will be applicable to all senior secondary schools in Ghana.
She asserts that there are rules and regulations that must be adhered to by all learners at every academic institution, but that each institution may have a different code of conduct and a different set of penalties for particular offenses.
In order to create a set of official guidelines that would apply to everyone and make it simpler to impose sanctions on offenders who breach these guidelines, she stated that it is necessary to combine each of those rules of conduct.
She stated, “We’re harmonizing all the schools code of conduct so that we don’t have individual schools code of conduct, that you’ll pick School A’s code of conduct and probably the offenses and sanctions would be different from School B.”
According to her, the broad set of regulations have already been completed by GES, but they still need to be presented to Council for evaluation and validation before being formally authorized and made public.
This was revealed by Madam Cassandra after a shocking video depicting a violent assault involving two Adisadel College students surfaced.
