Politician, Bice Osei Kufour popularly known as Obour has waded into the free senior high school students insulting video brouhaha.
There have been a video of some final year SHS students insulting President Akufo Addo after their West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) paper which they claimed Akufo Addo failed to help them pass thereby raining unprintable words on him.
Other videos showed students riot and vandalise school properties with the excuse of strict invigilation.
In reaction, Obour stated “social media is both a blessing and a curse so now it’s like everybody is having their TV station on their phones. So whatever they want the world to see they just record it for the world to watch.”
He added, “as for discipline it is something that our authorities struggle to implement. But today there are schools which prohibits students from bringing mobile phone to school.”
He blamed the situation on parents and the children at large.
“However some parents also will claim that they want to communicate with their wards so they will defy such directives. So where we find ourselves right now it’s a combination of both.
“Indiscipline on the part of the children and some on the parents and also the advent of social media sensationalism that has brought us these kinds of challenges,” Obour told Amansan Krakye on GBC Radio Central.
