Economist and Executive Director of the Startrite Montessori School, Professor Peter Quartey, has criticised the Ghana Education Service's (GES) decision to ban graduation ceremonies and related activities in pre-tertiary schools, describing the move as a "knee-jerk reaction" that punishes schools instead of addressing the excesses that prompted the directive.
