GES Asks Headmaster Of GHANASCO To Step Aside For Using Toilet Cubicles As Dormitory [Details]

Management of the Ghana Education Service has asked the Headmaster and the Senior Housemaster of Ghana Senior High School to put down their work for further investigations; for using toilet cubicles as dormitories for students.

This decision was made following a viral video that circulated online. According to the letter released by GES, investigations will be done by the Regional Director of Education and decision will be taken after two weeks.

Content of the letter below:

“The attention of the Management of Ghana Education Service has been drawn to a viral video being circulated on social media showing some students of Ghana Senior High School, Tamale, using toilet cubicles as dormitories.

This is very disturbing and unfortunate especially when records available to us indicate that, out of the 1790 vacancies declared by the school, only 1467 students have enrolled. The school is expected to have excess capacity to even house extra 300 students. It is thus, unacceptable to have students sleep in such a place.

The Headmaster and the Senior Housemaster have been directed to step aside to allow for further investigations into the matter by the Regional Director of Education and report back in two weeks.

Management wishes to assure all our stakeholders and the general public that it will continue to ensure that the students entrusted in our care operate in a safe school environment.”
