The Ghana Education Service (GES)  has set up a fact-finding committee to look into a sex scandal that has hit the Bolgatanga Girls' Senior High School (BOGISS) in Upper East Region.

Though school authorities and the Ghana Education Service are tight-lipped over the scandal, reliable information available to The Chronicle indicates that three male teachers have been implicated.

The identities of the teachers, though withheld, were revealed after a female teacher of the school,(also name withheld for now)  picked up two of her students to a house at Yikene, a suburb of Bolgatanga, under the pretext that she wanted them to help clean her house.

Unknown to the girls, their madam had been suspecting her husband who is also a tutor of the school of having sexual affairs with some of them in the house. They (students girls)  followed her to the house, where two women (wives of the two of the implicated teachers) joined her and allegedly subjected the girls to severe beatings in a bid to force the information out from them.

The girls then named the three male teachers who took them and their colleagues to the same house and had sex with them. One of the girls further revealed she was pregnant for one of the teachers.

After beating them, the female tutor and her two accomplices   left their victims  to their fate and drove away from the house. Though the beating occurred on April 20, the school authorities tried to shield the female tutor and the implicated male teachers, until angry parents and relatives of the school girls (victims) mobilized and besieged BOGISS last Sunday to punish the female teacher for beating their daughters.

But for the timely intervention of some community elders and staff of the school, the female tutor  would have been beaten up in equal measure or more.

Information available to The Chronicle indicated that the bad practice of the implicated teachers had been going on in the school for some time now and that, it was an open secret  among teachers and students of the school.

The committee, looking into the matter, was expected to complete its work yesterday, Thursday May 5.

The 9-member committee investigating the allegation  is chaired by Madam Agnes Atayila, former Presiding Member for Bolgatanga Municipality Assembly and former Regional Chairperson of the People's National Convention.
