    The behavior of the Regional Director should be sanctioned by the Hon Minister of Education. This is very unprofessional unless he is a mental case.

    So the teacher stood there for the director to whip her? There is more than 100 things wrong with the situation.

    The Director should have known better. Canning the teacher is equally wrong as the teacher for GES has asked teachers to stop corporal punishment. Two wrongs do not make a right

    Those of you condemning the actions of the Director need your heads examined. You are stuck in the past. What right has the teacher to abuse a child? The parents send their child to school to be taught and not to be abused. I ...

    You are simply condoning the actions of the Director because you two have something in common. Should the Director's superior also take up a cane to lash him because he is not pleased with his actions? His position has entere ...

    If the teachers did not enjoy the canning, then the children didn't either. Teachers have been warned several times to stop using the cane but most still do. This action of the director will scare other teachers. Children are ...

  • Silan 7 years ago

    Director did the right thing if you sack the teacher he will do it again else where but caning he himself has experience that caning is bad for the body and mental and emotional well being.

  • Hafad 7 years ago

    I strongly agree with the Director. it will serve as a deterrent to other teachers who thinks punishing students is all about canning disregarding the psychological effect on the child who is to sit for an exams. People shou ...

  • Abokuma 7 years ago

    If this case is true, then the Regional Education Director needs to be sanctioned. So what he did was the best decision that he could think of in his capacity as RED. Although I don't agree with the teacher's actions, canin ...

    Sources say the Regional Director of Education, Enyonam Afi Amefugah, whose office is adjacent the school, was
    driving by the school to his office when he spotted the teacher caning the pupils. He or she, which is which?

    pure madness

  • Stone 7 years ago

    Afi is (she) I don't know why the writer used (he) instead of (she) If he does not know (Ewe) names, at least the name Afi should have given him the clue.

    So why did the teacher allow the director to cane her in the presence of her pupils.

    Two wrongs can never make a right.
    Besides, is the regional director
    encouraging lateness by beating some-
    body's wife? The teachers' union should
    not spare this foolish director.

  • Ben 7 years ago

    Two wrongs can never make a right.
    Besides, is the director encouraging
    lateness by beating someone's wife?
    The teachers should ensure that he is
    equally punished. Foolish director.

  • Citizen 7 years ago

    Folks, the Director is a woman, but she had no right to whip the female teacher. Te Director must be demoted.

    Why? So if you're a director you have to cane a teacher. And what about the Minister? You to go and apologize to her immediately if not God will punish you.
