The Eastern Regional Minister, Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey, has announced plans to build a wall between Okuapeman Senior High School and Mount Sinai Senior High School. This action follows recent clashes between students of the two institutions.
The minister stated that the wall is intended to create a clear separation between the schools. This will prevent students from easily moving between the campuses.
The decision aims to reduce the risk of future conflicts and disturbances. Police have been deployed to maintain order and monitor the situation at both schools.
The two senior high schools share a common boundary. This proximity has reportedly led to repeated incidents of student unrest.
Minister Awatey emphasized the need for immediate measures to ensure the safety and security of students and the surrounding community.
The construction of the wall is part of a broader strategy to improve discipline and security within educational institutions in the region.
Further details on the timeline and funding for the project are expected to be released by the ministry.
