The Ondo State Government has expelled some final year students of secondary schools and seized their results and testimonials over acts of misconduct during their sign- out celebrations after the West African Senior School Certificate Examination, WASSCE.
The state Ministry of Education made this known, saying that the disciplinary action was taken after 17 final-year students were found to have engaged in chaotic and unruly behaviour after completing their final examination.
It further noted that, the affected students were captured in a viral video tearing their school uniforms, chanting unusual slogans, and engaging in acts considered inconsistent with acceptable standards of discipline.
The schools involved were the Oyemekun Grammar School, Aquinas Secondary School, and CAC Grammar School, all in Akure, the state capital.
The government said the sanctions were imposed to ensure discipline by discouraging acts of hooliganism among students in the state's public secondary schools.
