Abstract
This
research
focuses
on
discipline
issues
as
one
of
the
major
concerns
of
educators
in
public
schools
in
Ghana.
Qualitative
and
quantitative
enquiries
were
undertaken
into
discipline
issues
and
their
implications
on
student
learning
as
perceived
by
senior
high
school
principals
in
Brong
Ahafo
Region
of
Ghana.
The
study
reveals
that
senior
high
school
administrators
perceived
indiscipline
as
an
issue
affecting
their
administration,
and
prevented
the
provision
of
congenial
atmosphere
for
effective
teaching
and
learning.
In
addition,
it
tarnished
the
image
of
the
schools
before
the
outside
world,
thus discouraging donors, parents and other interest groups from having interest in
the
schools.
Recommendations
for
involvement
of
students
in
decision
making
and
the
provision
of
guidance
and
counselling
services
are
explored
