The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has intervened in the sacking of the eight Chiana Senior High School students who were seen in a viral video insulting him.
A statement issued this morning by the Ministry for Education, signed by Kwasi Kwarteng, Spokesperson, has said the President intervened when his attention was drawn to the matter, though the release was silent on the sort of intervention.
Meanwhile, it concluded that the “Minister for Education, Dr Yaw Adutwum has directed the Ghana Education Service to consider an alternative disciplinary action instead of dismissal.”
Yesterday, another video popped up of the same girls expressing remorse while holding a sheet each, which they said were their dismissal letters.
This is not the first time students have insulted the President.
In 2020, one of the final year students of Sekondi College in the Western Region in a viral video used vulgar words on President Akufo-Addo in the company of his friends and later apologized.
