The National Peace Council has raised serious concerns about increasing violence and intolerance within senior high schools across the country.

The council warns that if this trend continues, it could threaten Ghana's peace and development.

This worry comes after reports that some students are bringing weapons to school.

Students also carry weapons to inter-school sporting events.

This is reportedly due to fears of attacks from students of other schools.

The National Peace Council believes this situation requires urgent attention to prevent further escalation.

They are calling for measures to address the root causes of this violence.

Ensuring safety in educational institutions is vital for the nation's future.
