GES interdicts Okadjakrom SHS teacher over alleged sexual misconduct

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted Mr Mfo Richard Tibetor, a teacher at Okadjakrom Senior High Technical in the Jasikan Municipality, Oti Region, over alleged sexual misconduct with a female student.

In a statement issued by Daniel Fenyi, Head of Public Relations at GES, the conduct of Mr Tibetor was described as “unacceptable, unethical, and a clear violation of professional code of conduct for teachers.” He has been prohibited from entering the school premises pending further investigations.

Mr Tibetor is the second teacher to be interdicted by GES within a week. On September 29, Mr Charles A. Aidoo, Assistant Headmaster (Academic) of KNUST Senior High School, was removed from office over a “compromised position with a female student” captured in a viral video.

GES assured parents, guardians, and the public that the safety and protection of all students remains a top priority. The service emphasized that any teacher found culpable of acts compromising the dignity and well-being of students will face the full rigour of the law in accordance with the GES Code of Conduct.

The statement reiterated GES’s commitment to discipline, professionalism, and child protection across all schools nationwide.
