The Ghana Education Service (GES) has taken action against Patience Naki Mensah, the headmistress of Ghana Senior High School (GHANASS) in Koforidua, by placing her under interdiction.

The decision comes in response to allegations that she sold unauthorized items to Form One students reporting to the school.

This information was conveyed through a press release signed and issued by the Eastern Regional Director of Education, Mrs. Ivy Asantewaa Owusu, on Thursday, December 7, 2023.

The interdiction is intended to allow for a thorough investigation into the allegations against Madam Mensah.

Notably, this case adds to the growing number of headteachers who have faced disciplinary actions for allegedly charging unapproved fees since the implementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy.
