The Ondo State Government has suspended 27 students from three public secondary schools in Akure over alleged misconduct.

This is contained in a statement by Mrs Bisi Lawani, Head of the Media Unit, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, on Monday.

The affected students are from Oyemekun Grammar School, Aquinas College and CAC Grammar School.

The statement explained that the students were suspended for gross misconduct and unruly behaviour, contrary to the state’s Code of Conduct for public secondary schools.

“Despite regular meetings and consultations with principals and other relevant stakeholders on strategies for combating indiscipline, as well as repeated warnings, some students continued to engage in unacceptable conduct that cannot be tolerated.
