The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted Mr. Mfo Richard Tibetor, a teacher at Okadjakrom Senior High Technical School in the Jasikan Municipality of the Oti Region, following allegations of sexual misconduct involving a female student.
In a statement signed by the Head of Public Relations, Daniel Fenyi, the GES said it had taken note of a disturbing video circulating on social media that purportedly captured Mr. Tibetor engaging in inappropriate conduct with the student.
“The conduct is unacceptable, unethical, and a clear violation of the professional code of conduct for teachers,” the statement stressed.
Mr. Tibetor has therefore been interdicted with immediate effect and barred from entering the school premises pending the outcome of investigations.
The Service reaffirmed its commitment to student safety and welfare, warning that any teacher found guilty of misconduct would face the full rigours of the law and the sanctions prescribed by the GES Code of Conduct.
“GES assures parents, guardians, and the general public that the safety and protection of all students remain our topmost priority,” the statement added.
The regulatory body also underscored its resolve to enforce discipline, professionalism, and child protection standards across all educational institutions.
The incident has triggered widespread public concern, with calls for swift justice and stronger safeguarding mechanisms in schools. Investigations are currently underway.
