The National Cadet Coordinator General, Mr Nicholas Nii Tettey-Amartefio, has called on the government and other stakeholders to support cadet leadership training camps to promote discipline in senior high schools (SHS) in the country.
Mr Tettey-Amartefio said the canker of indiscipline in various SHS across the country in recent years was a major concern to Ghanaians, and effective strategies were put in place through disciplined cadet in schools to ensure loyalty and improve holistic education in the second cycle institutions.
The National Cadet Coordinator General was speaking at the opening ceremony of the 2025 National Leadership Training Camp for 717 participants in SHS from the sixteen regions.
Mr Tettey-Amartefio stressed that the leadership cadet training would definitely transform the lives of the participants into disciplined students who would also touch the lives of other students in their respective institutions to maintain high levels of discipline at the SHS.
The South Tongu District Chief Executive (DCE), Ms Victoria Dzeklo, observed that the cadet camp was more than a training programme, describing it as a life-changing experience for the participants, saying leadership was not about rank or title but responsibility, humility, and the courage to serve.
Ms Dzeklo said the youth were the future leaders of the country; therefore, efforts should be made to prepare them adequately to enable them to take up responsible leadership positions, which she stressed could only be achieved through discipline.
The Headmaster of Sogakope SHS, Mr Newman Dziedzoave, described the school as one of the best in the Volta Region with a high level of discipline, which had culminated in high academic performance.
