    School manager please you are not making sense. Some Ghanaians are never considerate and that practive is totally bad. It is a great idea to stop it. Give the gifts to them when they come home and stop this nkurases3m.

    Exactly! The Nkwasiasem is too much. The people are sick in their heads. An impoverished nation like ours yet we want to behave as if we are rich, just copying blindly from developed societies. This is part of the reason corr ...

    Granted, it is bad to show extravagance like what those parents did by gifting cars on school campus, but it is nonsense to ban graduation ceremonies, especially in international schools. I think the private schools should ta ...

    But when, and why, did this "graduation" thing start? What are they graduating from, and with what? Do they receive any certificates at these events? Can they get a job or Uni entrance after these so-called graduation events? ...

    This is totally nonsense. Graduation ceremony is different from giving presents to wards after completion of exams. This is total rubbish

    It’s a very good directive because for the greater part of the end of the academic year, al the the students do is to rehearse for that one day event. Besides poor parents must provide extra money for the graduation unif or ...

    Instead of complete ban ,the GES could have regulated how the graduation ceremonies should be organized. In any case , the GES has no right to issue such directive without consulting the owners of private schools. The direc ...

    They should exclude private schools from this ridiculous ban

  • Gaani 1 hour ago

    I'm in support of this 100% ,the private schools have turned the graduation activities into money making venture. They charge us too much for even kindergarten kids.
    It's a good call.
