The Ghana Education Service (GES) has urged the public to disregard reports suggesting that the eleven headteachers interdicted for charging unapproved fees had been reinstated.
GES, in a Facebook post on December 17, said investigations on the interdicted heads of Senior High Schools (SHSs) were ongoing, and the outcome will be known when completed.
It will be recalled that the headmistress of the Ghana Senior High School in Koforidua was interdicted on December 7 for allegedly selling unauthorized items to first-year students reporting to the school.
Another seven headteachers in senior high schools (SHSs) across the Ashanti Region were also interdicted for the same alleged offence.
The Ghana Education Service interdicted these seven in separate statements dated December 8, 2023.
The head of the public relations unit at the Ghana Education Service (GES), Cassandra Twum Ampofo, said the eleven Senior High School (SHS) headteachers were interdicted because they blatantly ignored GES directives.
Zakaria Suleman Yeboah, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS), on December 12, noted that the interdicted headteachers were expected to appear before a committee, but that did not materialize.
