The organisation in a press release directed to the Ghana Education Service (GES), said the use of de-boardinisation as a tool for positive discipline had far outlived its relevance, adding that the approach had failed in reforming students.
They opined punishing the girls by sacking them from boarding school, only places them in hostels without any parental or school control, further exposing them to higher levels of delinquency and harm from society.

The group called on the GES to review de-boardinisation as a form of punishment and adopt progressive sanctions that actually reform offending students.
