The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted Mr. Mfo Richard Tibetor, a teacher at Okadjakrom Senior High Technical School in the Oti Region, following a video allegedly showing him in an act of sexual misconduct with a female student
In a statement released on Thursday, October 2, and signed by GES Head of Public Relations, Daniel Fenyi, the Service said the teacher has been barred from entering the school premises pending investigations. GES described the conduct as “unacceptable, unethical, and a violation of the professional code of conduct for teachers.”
The Service assured parents and the public that the protection and safety of students remain its top priority and warned that any teacher found culpable of acts that compromise student welfare will face the full rigours of the law.
The interdiction comes just days after GES dismissed the Assistant Headmaster (Academic) of KNUST Senior High School, Mr. Charles Akwasi Aidoo, after a viral video showed him in a compromising situation with a female student.
In that earlier statement, issued on Monday, September 29, GES said it viewed the matter with “utmost seriousness” and confirmed that Mr. Aidoo had been removed from office and prohibited from going to the school while investigations are ongoing.
GES has reaffirmed its commitment to enforcing discipline, professionalism, and child protection across all schools in the country.
