Thank you honorable.
Typical Ghanaian. If the problem is the extravagance, why not ban the giving of gifts etc at graduation. Why ban all graduations? A case of killing an ant with a sledgehammer.
Kwachakwache is an animal name and your brains are dead.

Please allow the graduation ceremony and give the clear guidelines that eliminates the undesirable aspects
The Minister has no business canceling graduation ceremonies because he disapproves of some parents giving their graduating children lavish gifts. Yes, allow the graduation ceremonies to continue, but advise parents to hold p ...

You’re an idiot
Smh too much gh sun has burned his brain cells
Don't be deceived you end at Ukraine or Russia war front!???
This is an EXCELLENT decision by the Minisry of Education. The depravity that is creeping up is very, very scary indeed. That ceremony is not part of the curriculum. We can easily do without that nonsense!
Kwasia minister is Ghana now a communist country? When we find out how much money you are stealing and hoarding you will be hanged like Chinese duck
A step in the right direction. There's too much fooling spreading very fast in Ghana and must be controlled otherwise, we risk being consumed by people's recklessness.
Why put your number here
The minister did not ban anything. Here is what was said in the article:
"The education minister, Haruna Iddrisu, has therefore directed the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service(GES)to suspend all SHS graduatio ...

I don't think you get it. Gifting can continue but do it in your houses or wherever you feel like. The ministry did the right thing. The graduation is theirs but the gift isn't. They've taken their thing. Take your gift elsew ...

This stupidity must be stopped immediately.
Extravagant funeral celebrations to extravagant graduation ceremonies.
Meanwhile there are no toilets facilities in many homes in accra
Kaakyire nua of the Bush because i don't think any of your family members have even seen a plane in the skies or airport before..
Sell your vagina at east legin and osu you will easily buy toilet for your house or you can just go stand on the street corner under the traffic lights and wear tight Jinz....say Ginzs....not jeans but ginzs
The hypocrisy. Look at these ministers with police escorts riding in a convoy of V8s. And here he is complaining about extravagance. Pottle meet kettle. Tweaaa.
Don't.mind this fool his head like professional toilet carrier
Students spend hours, days and years learning. Graduation is the climax of their efforts and achievements, joy and celebrations. Some parents even present gifts and even cars to their graduating students. I think if the cerem ...

Where was the minister when this stupidity in SSS started? Sleeping on the job until people on social media started complaining. The greed and opulence from politicians is trickling down to our schools
Beware of your Muslim education minister. The next will be a demand for all female students to wear hijab and males to grow long beards. It is creeping in in bits.

A step in the right direction. High Schools are not locations for fashionable displays. What happens to the emotional state of those students from poorer families?
Welldone. Ghana is becoming something.Bad influence.
Ghana is a funny joke! From extravagant one week celebration, funerals, weddings, chieftaincy and, now in SHS graduation...where the students are not even certain of passing their exams.
And all of this in the midst of p ...

Well done Mr minister. I don't even understand when this practice started. Where from all these things?
The GES should also ban the JHS graduation ceremony as well. It an avenue for extortion from parents and guardians. A school in Takoradi is charging eaxh graduant @1000ghc.
I agree, you can do it at home or organize a private one when they come home. Good job.
When did this nonsense start and where?
Generally Ghanafuo has opulence and extravagance oo. Mostly stemming from Poverty and leading to thievery and under development. Next shd target funerals and similar stuff. Enough is enough.
White European brought modern civilization to Ghana..They see cars as heaven that is why they are foolishly displaying it ..Without the white man, Ghana will be Without civilization.
I really applaud you for doing that. Infact cancel the whole celebration and send them home to celebrate and mail each and every student their certificate of completion. Thanks Minister of Education

Great Great Great. Ghanaians are just something else
This is the reason why some parents should pay for their ward.
This materialistic nonsense is copied from the United States. Very good that the Ministry of Education has put a stop to it. Americans can live their lifestyle which we don't want here in Ghana.
Minister you have done well. If some parents can gift their children who complete shs cars as gift, then what of if they complete universities. Some parents let prayers be the gift to your children not wealth thank you
Thank you
Hon, thanks for these statements, though you and your party are not my fun, but truly speaking with your vividly statements of this issue made my day, the displayed of stupid wealth by some irresponsible parents is unbearable ...
