Out of seven headteachers interdicted in the Ashanti Region, Four, are expected to appear before a committee set up to investigate the claims today, December 12.
In several pressers, the Ghana Education Service (GES) stated that the various headteachers were accused of charging students various unapproved fees, including alleged payments for house dues, books and calculators, fees for the admission process, the printing of slips and files, and hymn books.
The headteachers to meet the committee include; the headmistress of Kumasi Girls SHS, Mrs. Selina Anane Afoakwa, the headmaster of Asanteman SHS Mr. Nataniel Asamoah, Mr. Andrews Boateng, headmaster of Kumasi Senior High Technical School, and Mr. Kwadwo, headmaster Obeng-Appiah, headmaster of EdubiaManso- SHS.
Speaking on Accra-based Citi TV, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS), Zakaria Suleman Yeboah, said he cannot take sides on the allegations his colleagues have been charged with.
“I cannot say whether the items stated against them [the headteachers] are right or not. I have met my members, and we have spoken at length, and they have given me their side of the story, so I hope that the committee sitting will help us unravel some of the issues at stake.”
The rest are Mr. Daniel Boamah Duku, headmaster of the Agric Nzema Community SHS, Ms. Gladys Sarfowah, headmistress of Nkawie Senior High Technical School, and Mr. Ampong Ahmed Omar, headmaster of Collins SHS.
