Four out of eight headmasters interdicted in Kumasi for charging unapproved fees transferred

The Ghana Education Service has transferred four out of the eight senior high school headteachers in the Ashanti Region who were interdicted for allegedly charging unauthorized fees.

The headmasters were interdicted in December 2023 over alleged charging students unapproved fees.

These included payments of house dues, books, calculators, admission process fees, the printing of slips, files, and hymn books.

After concluding its probe, four of the headmasters have been transferred.

The Ashanti Regional President of the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS), Sulemana Yeboah, disclosed this in an interview.

“They [GES] have taken the decision where four of them [the headteachers] have been asked to go to their various schools and four of them have been swapped from their former schools to different schools. [Headteacher] of Kumasi Girls is now at Ntonsu SDA Girls and [Headteacher] of SDA Girls is at Nkawie. [Headteacher] of Nkawie SDA Girls has been moved to Nkroful Agric.

“And in the direct swap, we have [Headteacher] of Manso Adubia SHS moving to Tweapease Senior High School, and [Headteacher] of Tweapease Senior High School moving to Manso Adubia SHS. The last person moved from KSTS to Bosome Freho Senior High School to replace the headteacher, who is on retirement,” he said in an interview with Citi FM.
