Background
On Friday November 11, 2022, a video of some five female students insulting the President emerged online. The video soon gained traction and become ‘viral’, shared countless times on social media. It later came to light that the students are those of Chiana SHS in the Kassena Nankana West District of the Upper East Region.
While many have criticised the conduct of the students, some have explained that it is as a result of a breakdown of discipline in senior high schools due to policies that undermine the ability of school authorities to ensure that discipline prevails in schools.
