In other news, the Headmaster of Academics at Nkwatia Presby Senior High School has been disciplined by the Ghana Education Service (GES) for allegedly assaulting and slapping a female student, leaving her partially blind.
The incident occurred when the student left campus with an exeat, but upon her return, the headmaster questioned her without giving her the opportunity to defend herself.
The student had been forced to kneel for a considerable amount of time by the headmaster prior to the assault. He got enraged and assaulted her after she complained that she wasn’t feeling well.
Ghanaians are outraged by the development, and many are calling for the Nkwatia Presby headmaster in question to be detained and prosecuted while others are pleading with the GES to give him the boot.
In a statement, the GES expressed its “disturbing” reaction to the social media video and its unequivocal condemnation of the Nkwatia Presby Assistant Headmaster’s behavior.
