The Ghana Education Service (GES) has reacted to the death of a final year student of Gwiraman Senior High School (SHS) in the Western region.
The deceased, Nathaniel Yankey, passed on Wednesday, July 15, 2020, after he was rushed to the Essikado Hospital.
According to reports, his condition deteriorated after school authorities denied him permission to go home for treatment.
His distraught mother, Mena Adjoa Essoun, blamed school authorities for the demise of her son.
But the GES in a statement, copied to Adomonline.com, said the boy did not die on campus as it has been reported.
