The Volta Regional Director of Education, Enyonam Amafugah has advised teachers in the region to adopt alternative disciplinary measures to end students’ rioting.
According to her, alternative discipline will guide students using non-violent response, adding that the new model would also allow teachers to create a positive environment so that students can understand the values modeled to them.
She made this call at Nkwanta Senior High School when she inaugurated the Board of Members of the school and handed over 16 motorbikes to teachers whose motorbikes were destroyed during students’ riot on October 28, 2018.
