He explained that after registering for the BECE most of the final year students no longer report to school but rather engage in vices that only land them in trouble.
He said the students mainly engage in hooliganism, watching of pornographic films, internet fraud popularly known as “sakawa”, sexual immorality and all manner of indiscipline.

He must also take part of the blame due to the rate at which they absent themselves from school. The Regional Director also said that another thing teachers do is come to school but fail to teach the students.
The Director said it is very appalling for the three regions of the north to be competing for the bottom positions while the other seven regions compete for the top positions after BECE.
He together with other stakeholders therefore called for an immediate solution to this phenomenon.
He was speaking at the first ever Regional Education Forum organized by the Northern Regional League of Youth Association in collaboration with Youth Empowerment for Live (YEfL) in Tamale.

He appealed to Chiefs, opinion leaders and other stakeholders to support the Ghana Education Service in ensuring proper monitoring and supervision to prevent teachers from toying with the future of the students.
He also appealed to parents in particular to closely monitor their adolescent children and prevent them from peer pressures, sexual immoralities, drug usage and other indiscipline acts.
