The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted two teachers of Aduman Senior High School in the Ashanti Region following 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 alleged incident continue.
In a statement released on Thursday, November 12, GES said it referred the matter to the Police after receiving reports of the alleged misconduct. The Service added that the interdiction would remain in place until investigations are concluded.
The development comes after the mother of the alleged victim, a final-year student at the school, publicly appealed for justice for her son.
Speaking on Lawson TV on November 10, 2026, she said she became worried about her son’s health after he returned home complaining of feeling unwell.
She explained that further enquiries into his condition led her to discover what she alleged was sexual abuse involving the two teachers.
The mother further accused the teachers of attempting to cover up the incident rather than allowing the circumstances surrounding it to be thoroughly investigated.
GES disclosed that the student had been provided with psychosocial support to protect his well-being while investigations are ongoing.
The Service reaffirmed its commitment to taking appropriate steps to protect students and maintain safe and supportive learning environments in schools.
