The Ghana Education Service has with immediate effect interdicted Mr. Mfo Richard Tibetor, a teacher at Okadjakrom Senior High Technical School, following the circulation of a video allegedly showing him in an act of sexual misconduct with a female student.
In a press release issued on Thursday and signed by the Head of Public Relations, Daniel Fenyi, the GES stated it had "taken note of a disturbing video circulation on social media" involving the teacher. The school is located in the Jasikan Municipality of the Oti Region.
The service has condemned the alleged actions, stating that "Management of GES finds the conduct unacceptable, unethical, and a clear violation of the professional code of conduct for teachers."
As a result, Mr. Tibetor has not only been interdicted but has also been "prohibited from entering the school premises pending further investigations into the matter."
The GES sought to reassure the public, emphasising that "the safety and protection of all students remain our topmost priority."
The statement further served as a stern warning to other educators, declaring that "any teacher found culpable of acts that compromise the dignity and wellbeing of students will face the full rigours of the law in accordance with the GES Code of Conduct."
The service reaffirmed its commitment to "ensuring discipline, professionalism, and child protection across all schools in the country." The case now awaits the outcome of the official investigation.
