The Ministry of Education has appealed to the general public to assist security agencies in tracking down a teacher at Bole Senior High School (SHS) who has gone into hiding after a disturbing viral video showed him allegedly engaging in sexual misconduct with a student inside the science laboratory.
Deputy Minister of Education, Dr. Clement Apaak, made the appeal in an interview on Accra-based Citi FM.
The Builsa South MP said the Ministry is treating the case with the seriousness it deserves and has already put measures in motion to ensure full accountability.
“Our checks indicate that the teacher has gone into hiding. We know that law enforcement is also playing its part, and he is being sought after. If Ghanaians can assist law enforcement to apprehend him, it would be very helpful,” he said.
Dr. Apaak reiterated that the teacher has already been interdicted by the Ghana Education Service (GES) and will face both criminal prosecution and the full disciplinary processes of the Education Service.
Meanwhile, the National Council of Parent Teacher Associations (NCPTA) has strongly condemned the incident, describing it as unacceptable and a betrayal of the trust placed in teachers.
The Council described the incident as a form of gender-based violence and noted that such actions could constitute criminal offences under Ghana’s laws.
It stressed that schools must remain safe environments for learning and development, rather than places where students are exposed to exploitation or abuse.
