Deputy minister defends student’s criticism of corruption, power abuse at forum
Adam says universities must encourage independent thinking, open debate.
Deputy Health Minister Dr Grace Ayensu-Danquah has called for a politically neutral approach to the allegations against Zakaria Abdulai, the headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS). She emphasized that crime does not have political colors and urged the public to focus on the alleged misconduct and its impact on students, rather than Abdulai's political affiliation as the NDC constituency secretary and potential chairperson candidate.
The Deputy Minister highlighted concerns about the power dynamics in teacher-student relationships and the potential psychological consequences for students involved, including pregnancies and the spread of sexually transmitted infections. She appealed to the Ghana Education Service to take a nationwide approach to addressing similar issues in other schools.
