Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has held a strategic engagement with the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) ahead of a national conference aimed at tackling growing indiscipline in senior high schools across the country. The engagement comes as concerns mount over a string of violent and disruptive incidents reported in senior high schools in recent years, prompting renewed calls for a coordinated national response to strengthen discipline and values-based education. In February 2026, the National Peace Council raised alarm after six violent incidents were recorded in senior high schools within a week. Against this backdrop, the Ministry of Education will on July 29 and 30 convene the National Conference on Stemming Indiscipline in Senior High Schools in Sunyani. According to the Ministry, recommendations from the conference will be consolidated into a comprehensive policy paper to guide the development of a coordinated national framework for addressing indiscipline in senior high schools and strengthening values-based education.
