Sammi Awuku has made it crystal clear that parents must foot the bill for destruction caused during school clashes. The recent violent confrontation between students of Okuapeman Senior High School and Mount Sinai Senior High School left school property completely ruined. School authorities and local leadership refuse to tolerate reckless teenage behavior that endangers innocent lives and public assets.
Chaos erupted unexpectedly when tensions boiled over between rival student bodies within the Akuapem North Municipality. School security and local police struggled for hours to restore calm before the situation escalated further. Such unfortunate incidents disrupt academic calendars and put unnecessary financial strain on struggling school administrations.
Making parents pay for broken infrastructure serves as a strong deterrent against future campus riots. School boards are meeting with regional security councils to implement tighter surveillance and harsher disciplinary consequences. Community leaders believe absolute accountability will finally force young students to focus strictly on their books instead of fighting.
