The Ghana Education Service (GES) has dismissed eight female students of the Chiana SHS in the Kassena Nankana West District of the Upper East Region for insulting President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
They were captured in a viral video using unprintable words on the Leader of the country.
The dismissal follows an investigation into the case by authorities last year. The students had been on suspension for their misconduct prior to their dismissal.
GES in a dismissal letter dated November 29, 2022, signed by the Director General of the GES, Dr Eric Nkansah, described their conduct as “very undesirable, and contrary to the acceptable standards of conduct generally required of any student in our educational system in Ghana.”
Management of the school as well as GES had assured the President and Ghanaians that the development will be investigated and the right punishment applied accordingly.
