“Management has initiated investigations into the matter. Pending the outcome of the investigations, management directs that the teacher is interdicted in accordance with GES rules and regulations,” the statement said.
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted a teacher at Bole Senior High School in the Savannah Region following allegations of sexual misconduct involving a student.
In a statement issued on 16 June and signed by its Head of Public Relations, Daniel Fenyi, the service said it had become aware of a video circulating on social media which allegedly shows inappropriate conduct between a teacher and a student at the school.
The GES said investigations have been launched into the incident, and the teacher has been removed from duty pending the outcome of the probe.
“Management has initiated investigations into the matter. Pending the outcome of the investigations, management directs that the teacher is interdicted in accordance with GES rules and regulations,” the statement said.
The service strongly condemned all forms of inappropriate relationships between teachers and students, reiterating what it described as a zero-tolerance approach to sexual misconduct.
It added that staff are expected to maintain the highest professional and ethical standards at all times.
GES also assured the public of its commitment to protecting students in schools across the country, warning that anyone found culpable would face appropriate disciplinary action.
