In a statement on Facebook, the outfit said investigations are still ongoing.

GES has therefore urged the public to disregard the reports about the reinstatement, emphasising it is false.

Management has assured all stakeholders and the public that, the outcome of the investigations will be made known when completed.

The interdiction of the headteachers is in connection with the collection of unauthorized fees from the students placed in their schools contrary to a directive from GES.

The outfit listed the unauthorised monies to include payments for sewn anniversary cloth, House dues, sale of books, sale of calculators, sale of anniversary cloth among others.

The affected headteachers are at Kumasi Girls, Asanteman, Kumasi, Manso Adubia, Agric Nzema Community, Nkawie and Collins SHS.

The rest are; Berekum SHS, O’Reilly, Odomaseman and GHANASS.

Meanwhile the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) last week engaged GES boss, Dr Eric Nkansah over a possible reinstatement.

GNAT General Secretary, Thomas Musah, shared these insights from the meeting in an exclusive conversation with Adom News.

Mr Musah emphasised the need for a constructive dialogue aimed at finding lasting solutions to the challenges posed by the alleged illegal fees.

The meeting, he stated proved to be a pivotal moment in the pursuit of a harmonious educational environment.

“Teaching and learning thrive in a conducive atmosphere,” asserted Mr. Musah, underlining the importance of resolving the fee controversy for the benefit of both educators and students alike.

The GNAT General Secretary also commended Dr Nkansah for his willingness to engage in dialogue and find an amicable resolution.

Acknowledging the fruitful nature of the meeting, Mr Musah appealed to the GES boss to consider tempering justice with mercy, concerning the interdicted headteachers.

This compassionate call underscores the understanding that, in complex situations, a balanced approach can lead to fair and just outcomes.

As the education community awaits the outcome of these diplomatic efforts, the story unfolds as a testament to the power of dialogue in resolving disputes within the education sector.

GNAT’s proactive engagement with GES reflects a commitment to fostering a positive educational environment that prioritizes the well-being of both teachers and students.

The nation watches with anticipation as these collaborative efforts aim to bring about a resolution that ensures the uninterrupted pursuit of knowledge in Ghana’s secondary schools.
