11 interdicted SHS headteachers to be reinstated by GES – GNAT
The Ghana Education Service (GES) after investigations into cases of headteachers of Senior High Schools it interdicted for allegedly charging first-year students unauthorized fees has decided to reinstate them by the end of this week.
The resolution follows a closed-door meeting between the GES leadership, representatives from the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), and the Conference of Assisted Heads of Senior High Schools (CHASS) in Accra.

The General Secretary of GNAT, Thomas Musah, who disclosed the new development in an interview with Accra 100.5FM commended the Service for its collaborative approach in addressing the concerns raised by GNAT and CHASS.
“This development suggests a positive outcome from the discussions, signalling the imminent reinstatement of the interdicted Senior High School heads,” the member of the Teacher Union told the Accra-based radio station.
The eleven interdicted headteachers are Mrs Selina Anane Afoakwa, Headmistress of Kumasi Girls SHS; Mr Nathaniel Asamoah, Headmaster of Asanteman SHS; Mr Andrews Boateng, Headmaster of Kumasi Senior High Technical School; and Mr Kwadwo Obeng-Appiah, Headmaster of Manso-Edubia Senior High School.
The others include Mr Daniel Boamah Duku, Headmaster of Agric Nzema Community SHS; Ms Gladys Sarfowah, Headmistress of Nkawie Senior High Technical School; and Mr Ampong Ahmed Omar, Headmaster of Collins SHS.
The Service interdicted these headteachers for imposing various unapproved fees, including house dues, books, calculators, admission process fees, and charges for printing slips, files, and hymn books on first-year SHS students.
