The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted two teachers of Aduman Senior High School in the Ashanti Region over allegations that they sexually abused a 17-year-old male student.
The teachers, identified as Isaac Yankey and Palance Kwakye, have also been arrested by the Police as investigations into the allegations continue.
In a statement issued on Thursday, November 12, GES said it referred the matter to the Police after receiving reports of the alleged misconduct. It said the interdiction would remain in force pending the outcome of the investigations.
The development follows a public appeal by the mother of the alleged victim, a final-year student of the school, for justice for her son.
Speaking on Lawson TV on November 10, 2026, she said she became concerned about her son’s health after he returned home and complained of being unwell.
She said further enquiries into his condition led her to uncover what she described as sexual abuse involving the two teachers.
The mother also accused the teachers of attempting to conceal the incident instead of allowing the circumstances surrounding it to be properly investigated.
GES said the student had been provided with psychosocial support to safeguard his well-being while investigations continue.
The Service said it would continue to take the necessary measures to protect students and ensure that schools remain safe and supportive learning environments.
