Kofi Tonto, a political aide, stated that violent acts and unruly behavior in senior high schools will likely increase. He emphasized that current prevention and discipline methods are outdated.
Mr. Tonto explained that young people in Ghana now have access to more advanced technology. This gives them new information and challenges that old approaches cannot address.
He urged education authorities to update their strategies. Security services must also modernize their ways of keeping order in schools.
The current methods are not enough to manage the changing behaviors of students, according to Mr. Tonto.
He believes that a failure to adapt will lead to more serious crime trends in schools. This impacts the safety and learning environment for all students.
The call for modernization aims to create safer schools for Ghanaian youth. It seeks to ensure that campuses remain places of learning, not conflict.
