The Deputy General Secretary of the Ghana Association Of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) Michael Ayuraboya, has welcomed the decision by the Ghana Education Service(GES) to review the punishment meted out by the Ghana Education Service on 14 students for indiscipline over the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

The GES has dismissed and bared the 14 students from writing the ongoing WASSCE over acts of indiscipline in their respective schools.

Mr. Ayuraboya, who condemned the acts of indiscipline by the students’ in the affected senior high schools, insisted that, the punishment by GES on the students were harsh and inappropriate and thus should be reviewed in order not to jeopardize the future of the students.

But speaking on A1 Radio’s Daybreak Upper East, Mr. Ayuraboya, described President Nana Addo’s intervention to cause the GES review their early decision as commendable.

“We(NAGRAT) agree that, the students ought to be punished but we do not think that, the nature of the punishment is appropriate. So, if the students have aired let use the rules to discipline them but also be measured in the sense that, you do not send them out to become a problem to society.

We(NAGRAT) accept that, they(students) have aired and should be punished but we do not accept that, they should be banned from writing the exams, that will be too much. We have heard that, the President Nana Addo has intervened, we are hoping that, they(GES) will reverse that decision, find a way out for the students write and be disciplined”.

Mr. Ayuraboya, also warned students against the fast growing trend of partisan politics in secondary schools and admonished politicians to refrain from indoctrinating students into partisan politics.

“Students are not allowed to do politics in our second cycle institutions but politicians have taken politics into the schools and when the students are doing it what can you do?. We have seen both the NDC and NPP going into schools but if the students have learnt from it and are doing same what can we say?.

…It is wrong but it has led us into all these and I think that, the sooner we stop politicking our students the, better our nation will become”.
