GES condemns attack on teachers, deploys security after violence at Bawku SHS

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has strongly condemned the violent assault on two teachers and the destruction of property at Bawku Senior High School in the Upper East Region.

In a statement signed by Head of Public Relations, GES, Daniel Fenyi, said initial reports link the attack to strict enforcement of examination regulations and invigilation during the ongoing WASSCE.

The service described the students’ actions as unacceptable, unjustifiable and contrary to the values of discipline, respect and integrity that underpin education.

GES said attacks on teachers in the course of their official duties amount to a serious breach of school discipline and pose a threat to staff safety.

Security personnel have been deployed to the school, and normal academic and examination activities are continuing under enhanced protection arrangements.

It asserted that the affected teachers are receiving medical attention and support as full investigation is underway in collaboration with security agencies to identify those involved.

GES further warned that anyone found culpable will face the full rigours of the law and GES disciplinary procedures.
