Axim Girls Staff Lament Over Forged Signatures

Staff members at Axim Girls Senior High School in Ghana's Western Region have expressed concerns to the Ghana Education Service (GES) regarding a forged signatures incident. The teachers discovered a document bearing false signatures and alleged that it claimed each teacher received GH¢1,861.49 from the 'Government academic intervention' program.

The teachers noted that such payments are typically given to motivate staff, but the management at Axim Girls SHS did not inform them about the incoming funds. Instead, the funds were distributed unevenly, with some teachers receiving up to GH¢2,000. The teachers were forced to sign the payments on a sheet, but they came across a new document with forged signatures, stating that all teachers had received the same amount.

The teachers emphasized that forging signatures for personal gain or to claim funds is a serious misconduct under the Ghana Education Service's code of conduct and a breach of their contract of service. They called for an urgent investigation by the GES to ensure accountability and punish those responsible for the forgery. The school's Headmistress, Augustina Essel Cudjoe, acknowledged the issue during a recent staff meeting, promising to set up a committee to investigate the matter.
