Students Sustain Injuries During Protests Against Gyaama Pensan SHS Headmaster

Academic activities have come to a halt at the Gyaama Pensan Senior High Technical School in the Kwabre East District of the Ashanti Region, following disturbances by students.

Four of the students are currently responding to treatment at the Aboaso Government Hospital after they sustained injuries in the course of the riot.

The angry students are protesting against the headmaster of the school, whom they say has prevented them from partaking in extra curricula activities such as inter-school sports competition, quizzes and entertainment.

The students have vandalized school properties including the vehicle of the headmaster and his apartment.

Police officers have been dispatched to the school to maintain law and order, whiles some worried parents are trooping to the school.

DCE for the Kwabre East District, Regional and District Directors of the Ghana Education, and school authorities, are locked up in a meeting over the matter.

Meanwhile, two out of four students who were admitted at the Aboaso Government Hospital after sustaining injuries in the riot have been discharged.

Two other female students are also responding to treatment at the hospital.

Principal Physician Assistant at the Aboaso Government hospital, Esther Akua Prempeh Konadu, told Citi News the students are out of any danger.
