More than 500 students at the Kumasi Technical Institute in the Ashanti Region have been sent home due to their misconduct and violation of school rules.

On May 17, the students, who were all in the boarding house, reportedly engaged in a rampage that resulted in damage to school properties. School authorities have taken action to maintain discipline but have not provided further details on the incident.

The authorities have filed an official report with the Technical and Vocational Education Training Directorate regarding the students' behavior, seeking appropriate action.

It has been discovered that the affected students failed to attend a general assembly parade, where the authorities conducted a roll call on Friday. Consequently, the students were instructed to pack their belongings and vacate the dormitories. They will face the school's disciplinary committee upon their recall.

The authorities are scheduled to meet with the parents of the affected students to provide them with an update on the situation.

During a visit by Citi News, most of the affected students had already left the school, while others were in the process of packing their belongings.

The Manhyia Divisional Command dispatched police officers to the school, and the Police Commander addressed the remaining students, emphasizing the importance of obeying the law.
