Ferdinand | EducationGhana | January 18 | Education Ministry Directs GES to Probe SHS Students Displaying Charms

The Education Ministry has directed GES to investigate a viral video showing SHS students displaying charms, raising concerns about student safety and discipline.

The Ministry of Education has directed the Ghana Education Service (GES) to investigate a viral video involving senior high school students openly displaying charms on campus.

The directive follows public concern over footage circulating on social media, where some students were seen wearing charms visibly, while others reportedly concealed them beneath their school uniforms.

Concerns Over Student Safety and School Discipline

The incident has triggered questions about student safety, school supervision, and adherence to institutional rules within second-cycle institutions.

Education authorities are particularly concerned about the implications for school discipline and the psychological impact such practices may have on other learners within the school environment.

The Ministry, through GES, is expected to establish the authenticity of the video, identify the school involved, and determine whether school regulations were breached.

GES Expected to Take Administrative Action

Sources within the education sector indicate that GES will engage school management as part of the inquiry, while appropriate administrative measures may be applied based on findings.

The development adds to ongoing discussions around student conduct and security in public schools, a matter regularly addressed by the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service.

Official updates are expected from the Ministry and GES in the coming days. For verified education policy updates, readers may refer to the Ministry of Education website (moe.gov.gh), the Ghana Education Service portal (ges.gov.gh), and education policy coverage by Graphic Online (graphic.com.gh).
