Gender Minister and GES Director-General to visit Obuasi SHS ahead of reopening

The Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, and the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) are set to visit Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS) in anticipation of the school's reopening. This visit follows the school's closure nearly three months ago, which was triggered by violent protests from students over allegations of sexual misconduct involving the headmaster, Zakaria Abdulai.

The allegations, detailed in an investigative documentary by JoyNews journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni, have raised concerns about the safety and welfare of students. The delegation's visit aims to address these concerns and facilitate the safe reopening of the school for continuing students.
