The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted two teachers at Aduman Senior High School in the Ashanti Region over allegations that they sexually abused a 17-year-old male student.
The teachers, named as Isaac Yankey and Palance Kwakye, have also been arrested by the Police as investigations continue.
In a statement released on Thursday, November 12, GES said it referred the case to the Police after receiving reports of the alleged misconduct. The Service added that the teachers would remain interdicted until the investigations are completed.
The case follows a public appeal for justice by the mother of the alleged victim, a final-year student at the school.
Speaking on Lawson TV on November 10, 2026, she said she became worried about her son’s health when he returned home feeling unwell.
She said that looking further into his condition led her to discover what she described as sexual abuse involving the two teachers.
The mother also accused the teachers of trying to cover up the incident rather than allowing the circumstances to be properly investigated.
GES said the student had received psychosocial support to help protect his well-being while the investigation continues.
The Service said it would keep taking the necessary steps to protect students and make sure schools remain safe and supportive places to learn.
