dc.descriptionThe study sought to find out challenges in maintaining discipline in Koforidua Senior High Technical School. Simple random sampling method was used to select 170 students, while purposive sampling method was used to select 30 teachers, all from Koforidua Senior High Technical School. Questionnaire was prepared, validated and used to collect data for the study. Descriptive survey was the main method used in the study. The data were analysed using frequencies and percentages. Data collated and analysed indicated that effective discipline in schools promote effective teaching and learning. Some acts of indiscipline identified among students in the school included bullying, stealing, drunkenness, smoking and drug abuse. Suggestions made to curb indiscipline among students in Koforidua Senior High Technical School included the following: School authorities should use specialists from establishments such as the Police Service, the Narcotic Board and the Health Service as resource persons to educate students periodically on the consequences of some acts of indiscipline like stealing and use of hard drugs. Parents/guardians and all stakeholders should help the youth to have the capacity to resist negative peer pressure which is increasingly becoming a canker among the youth in schools and communities today.
