The Ghana Education Service (GES) has suspended the introduction of tug-of-war and pillow fights as sports in second-cycle schools.
The decision by Ghana Education Service to suspend these sporting activities followed concerns raised by stakeholders over the safety of participants.
The stakeholders were worried about the safety of students, although there were safety measures in place.
The stakeholders have argued that introducing the new sports into schools would result in student injuries.
The GES has decided to revoke its approval after carefully considering the concerns raised by stakeholders.
The GES has communicated this decision to the Tug of War and Pillow Fight Federation in a letter.
It has further instructed Directors of Education and heads of secondary schools nationwide to adhere to the suspension notice.
