Management of Nkenkaasu Senior High School (SHS) has suspended its Senior Housemaster, Akwasi Opoku, following allegations of misconduct involving three female students.
In a statement, the school said the decision was taken after a review of his conduct in the matter.
The move, according to authorities, is intended to facilitate a thorough investigation while safeguarding students’ welfare and the institution’s reputation.
“Management has reviewed your conduct in a matter involving yourself and three female students. Your behaviour in this case is considered unprofessional and has brought the name of the school and the Ghana Education Service into disrepute,” the statement said.
Mr Opoku has been directed to step aside from his duties as Senior Housemaster with immediate effect and hand over to the Assistant Headmaster in charge of Domestic affairs.
The school stressed that the suspension is temporary and will remain in place pending further investigations and consultations.
The development has stirred conversations within the school community, with some parents calling for swift and transparent action to ensure accountability and protect students.
Others have urged caution, insisting that due process must be followed to establish the facts.
Management assured stakeholders that further action will be determined after investigations are concluded.
The school also reaffirmed its commitment to upholding professional standards and maintaining a safe environment for teaching and learning.
