Two watchmen at Bolgatanga SHS interdicted for alleged sexual assault
Management cautions that the Service will not tolerate any conduct that compromises the safety and wellbeing of students.
Two watchmen at Bolgatanga Senior High School have been suspended following allegations of sexually assaulting a student, according to the Ghana Education Service (GES). The incident reportedly occurred when the student, who has special needs and was on medication, had a relapse and required medical attention. The two watchmen were arrested and handed over to the police for further investigation.
The GES has interdicted the two watchmen immediately and will impose appropriate sanctions based on the investigation's outcome, in line with the GES Code of Conduct and Ghanaian laws. The management urges all staff to maintain the highest standards of professionalism and protect student safety and wellbeing, warning that they will not tolerate any conduct that puts students' safety and wellbeing at risk.
The GES assures parents, guardians, and the public that the matter is being handled with the utmost seriousness.
