The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted four headteachers over allegations of selling unauthorized items to Form One students.

Mr. Afi Yaw Stephen, Headmaster of Berekum Senior High School, and Mr. Joseph Jilinjeh Abudu, Headmaster of Odomaseman Senior High School, were both directed to step aside in separate letters by the GES for selling items not approved by the education authorities.

Mr. Afi Yaw Stephen was accused of charging unauthorized fees, including "Borla fees," "motivation fees," and "lunch bag" charges.

On the other hand, Mr. Joseph Jilinjeh Abudu has been accused of charging students GHC45 for hymn books, SRC fees, brown khaki, and other unapproved items.

The headteachers of O’Reilly Senior High School and Ghana Senior High School were interdicted for alleged unauthorized activities.

Nadia Lartechoe Annan of O’Reilly SHS and Patience Naki Mensah of Ghana Senior High School were suspended for unauthorized activities, including the collection of admission fees and the sale of ceremonial cloth, tracksuits, and other items to incoming Form One students.

Meanwhile, President of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), Angel Carbonu, has issued a stern warning to headteachers nationwide, urging them to adhere to the government’s policy prohibiting the sale of items to students within school premises.
