The
Ghana Education Service (GES) has assured the family of the 17 year old final
year student of the Akuse
Methodist Senior
High School in the Eastern Region (name withheld)
that the Education Service will soon commence investigations into the assault.
The
final year student was severely beaten by her teachers and sustained serious
degrees of injuries on her body for leaving campus without permission.
Pictures
corroborating the assault showed the girl’s body in bruises, swellings and her
back, buttocks and legs turned red.
Narrating
her ordeal, the student indicated that two teachers whose names were given as
Mr. Tengue and Mr. Adolf lashed her with a big stick in the full glare of the
head teacher for breaking school rules.
The
punishment has since called for attention from the Ghana Education Service.
Public
Relations Officer of the GES, Paul Krampah in an interview with Joy FM Thursday
indicated that his outfit will begin investigations into the incident and
ensure that culprits are sanctioned.
Though
he would not support a criminal investigation into the issue, he however
charged the GES “who has oversight responsibility overly of all institutions in
the country [I’m talking about all pre-tertiary institutions to investigate the
issue and then whoever is found culpable should be sanctioned.”
