GES Condemns Assault on Teacher at Kade School, Promises Action
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has strongly condemned the assault of a teacher at Kade Senior High Technical School, promising full punitive action against those involved.
In a statement released on Wednesday, December 10, signed by Daniel Fenyí, Head of Public Relations at GES, the Service acknowledged a video circulating on social media depicting the attack on Mr. Michael Quayson by a group of former students.
According to the GES, an initial report indicated the incident occurred on October 5, 2025. Investigations reveal the former students allegedly attacked Mr. Quayson due to his strictness while invigilating the Christian Religious Studies WASSCE 2025 paper.
The GES stated that school authorities and its Management were not immediately informed of the assault. The matter only came to their attention after the video surfaced on social media, prompting immediate action.
“Management condemns the assault in the strongest terms as such behaviour is unacceptable, unlawful, and a direct affront to the dignity of the teaching profession,” the statement read.
The Service assured the public that the perpetrators would be held accountable. “The students shall face the appropriate sanctions provided by law and GES regulations to ensure justice is duly served,” it added.
GES further reassured teachers nationwide of its unwavering support, emphasizing its commitment to their safety and maintaining discipline during examinations. “Management assures all teachers nationwide of our full support in instilling discipline and ensuring examination integrity,” the statement affirmed.
The GES urged all students to uphold discipline and respect authority, cautioning against actions that disrupt the teaching and learning environment. “We urge all students to uphold discipline and respect authority,” the release concluded.
The statement was signed by Daniel Fenyí, Head of Public Relations at GES.
