The Assin South Directorate of the Ghana Education Service (GES) has cautioned adolescent girls to stop running errands at homes of male teachers to avoid incidents of sexual abuse, harassment, and defilement perpetrated by some teachers.
It said sexual and gender-based violence and adolescent pregnancy are serious abuses impeding the health, education, social and economic development of both adolescent girls and their families.
The Assin South District Director of the GES, Ransford Appiah, gave the advice at an advocacy meeting with 300 adolescent girls at Assin Manso in the Assin South District of the Central Region.
