Corporal punishment ban contributing to falling academic performance – Adorye

Mr Adorye therefore called for stronger supervision across the public education system to ensure teachers remain committed to their responsibilities and pupils receive the attention required to improve academic outcomes.

According to Mr Adorye, private schools generally maintain closer supervision because of the need to protect their academic standards, while some public schools do not have the same level of monitoring.

He maintained that strengthening discipline and supervision in schools would be necessary to address the factors contributing to poor academic performance.
