Most teachers are conversant with flogging and they should put a stop to it. Spanking students is ancient practice and must not be tolerated in modern Ghana.

This kind of education is long overdue. The GES must put a stop to it from the teachers training coleges.

Touch any student like that in North America and see what happens to you! After that teacher has finished with his 5 years jail term for assaulting a minor, then the student or his/her brothers and friends will have their turn to deal with him. Foolish, primitive, bush-bush and deep bush behaviour. Stop it right now. When I bring my children to school in Ghana, touch one like that and see what happens to you.

The respect for our kids is nonexistent. I sent my kids to Ghana to Africanize them and have them learn 2 local languages. I had to bring the first one back because of constant caining because she was having difficulty with French and Twi. We are talking of a girl who learned Spanish in the US and knew nothing about French or Twi. She was trying hard at it but the issue here is that our educational system is horrible at best, and the treatment of the kids lacking in compassion and creativity.

Hmm,it is highly unfortunate that a student permanently loses an eye to teacher's cane. It will be better for the school as a whole including the teacher and the parents and every stakeholder to come together and take the child to other advanced hospitals for further examination before it may be too late. This court issues, to me, will not help matters. Please the interest and safety of the child first. Court issue should be secondary matter. Very sorry for the student. Hmmmm, it is highly unfortunate that a student loses an eye to teacher's cane.

Parents of the Student should not waste time to Sue, the Teacher, Sch ownership( if private),together with the Ghana Education Service(GES) and the Ministry of Education,jointly. B'cos GES is under the Ministry of Education.Request for an Eye Transplant replacement to your Son's damaged Eye in your submission to the Court from the Teacher.And Cash damages for pain and trauma,etc.The Surgery could be done in any of the advanced Countries.Teach them Sense to stop the nonsensicals in the Country.Why is the Ministry of Education not able to ban Spanking/Canning in Schools,after almost 60 years of independence.

Again this is a violation of the article 15.of Ghana constitution which is as follows:

(1) The dignity of all persons shall be inviolable.
(2) No person shall, whether or not he is arrested, restricted or retained, be subjected to -
(a) torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment;
(b) any other condition that detracts or is likely to detract from his dignity and worth as a human being.
(3) A person who has not been convicted of a criminal offence shall not be treated as a convicted person and shall be kept separately from convicted persons.
(4) A juvenile offender who is kept in lawful custody or detention shall be kept separately from an adult offender.
16.
(1) No person shall be held in slavery or servitude.
(2) No person shall be required to perform forced labour.
(3) For the purposes of this article, "forced labour" does not include -
(a) any labour required as a result of a sentence or order of a court; or
(b) any labour required of a member of a disciplined force or service as his duties or, in the case of a person who has conscientious objections to a service as a member of the Armed Forces of Ghana, any labour which that person is required by law to perform in place of such service; or
(c) any labour required during any period when Ghana is at war or in the event of an emergency or calamity that threatens the life and well-being of the community, to the extent that the requirement of such labour is reasonably justifiable in the circumstances of any situation arising or existing during that period for the purposes of dealing with the situation; or
(d) any labour reasonably required as part of normal communal or other civic obligations.

This Teacher must be sentenced to life in prison with hard labor without the possibility of parole. And all his teacher payments including retirement money must be paid to this little boy to cover all his medical bills for the rest of his life.

Much as i condemned this act, i think teachers in Ghana are unfairly treated. When madam Suweba's baby got stolen at KATH, was anybody charged for it? Or is it the case of 'some are more equal than others'?
