The kind of upbringing is important. There is no need for him to be that violent towards another student. If we discuss this in isolation, we would miss it. What happened in the school is a reflection of what is happening in the country. We think we are not supposed to punish students and this is how we pay for it as a country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is nothing wrong with students being at each other, but when it gets beyond regular bullying, it is bad. I regret that it has been taken to the court since this matter could have been addressed in the school, but the Attorney General thinks otherwise,\u201dJoseph Osei-Owusu said.<\/p>\n<p>Despite condemning the acrimonious act perpetrated by the student, Hon. Osei Owusu believes the culprit should have been counselled just so he can concentrate on his studies for the sake of his future.<\/p>\n<p>In the video, a 17-year-old final-year student was seen choking the neck of his colleague and subsequently smashing his head against a metal bed causing injury to the victim.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Osei Owusu also expressed worry over the falling standards of discipline and has questioned the moral upbringing of Ghanaian children and called for more conscious efforts in instilling discipline among children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever has happened should be left in the past and look forward to reforming the students involved in the video. We are copying blindly, and we must go back to our roots as Ghanaians,\u201d the First Deputy Speaker noted.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, on the issue of the lack of adequate infrastructure in Fettehman Senior High School the First Deputy Speaker urged the Member of Parliament to raise concerns on the floor of Parliament for further action while urging students to uphold strong moral values and integrity.<\/p>\n<p>The school has an infrastructure deficit as the facilities available on campus are not enough for the over one thousand five hundred students.<br \/>Students are left with no option but to sit under trees to eat.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-960373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/OSEI-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"607\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Quite apart from these challenges, the school has embarked on a project of constructing a bungalow for the headmistress of the school but wants support from the government and well-meaning Ghanaians to complete it.<\/p>\n<p>The board chairman of the School Joseph Annan said the school needs support to cater for the over a thousand students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a lot of infrastructure deficit as a school, ranging from the lack of accommodation on campus for teachers to the lack of a dining hall among others.
