Accra, Jan. 8, – Mr Kojo Yankah,
the President of the Old Boys Association of Adisadel College (Adisco), has
expressed the Association’s disapproval of the step taken by the Ghana
Education Service (GES) to interdict the Headmaster.
The steps, he said followed an alleged
involvement of the Headmaster, Mr William Kusi-Yeboah in unlawful admission of
students and collection of wrongful monies from students under the free Senior
High School (SHS) programme.
A Similar action was taken
against the Headmaster of the Nandom SHS in the Upper West Region, Mr Joachim
Naah, over same alleged misconduct.
According to Mr Yankah, news
making the rounds indicated that the Central Regional Director of Education was
asked to assume temporal responsibility for the management of the College.
Mr Yankah who said this at a news
conference organised by the Association in Accra on Tuesday said: “We do not
dispute the authority of the Ghana Education Service to discipline an employee,
but we are concerned with the way the issue has been handled”.
The President noted that it was
not the first time the Headmaster was queried and there had been no reference
of the Headmaster’s conduct to the Board of Directors.
He said there was an
administrative lapse and inappropriate handling of the issue by the GES and
gave the assurance that, the Association was willing to cooperate with the GES
on its investigation process on the issue.
“We hope that the final
determination will be in the best interest of educational administration in the
country,” he said.
