The Ashanti Regional Co-coordinating Council is asking security agencies to investigate alleged attempts by some senior high school heads to cause disaffection against government.
Regional Minister, Dr. Kwaku Agyemang Mensah, says he has information school authorities have been sacking students who pay part of their school fess, insisting on full payment.
He says this is an deliberate ploy to champion the cause of the NPP by popularizing its free SHS promise for electoral advantage.
Spokesperson, Francis Dodovi tells Nhyira News the Minister is also set to officially lodge a complaint with the Ghana Education Service and the Conference of Heads of Assisted Senior High Schools.
He says the conduct of the school heads contravenes the ethics of the teaching profession, and also puts innocent students at risk.
“And security agencies have picked up these signals and I’m telling you this cannot be a hear-say. There are evidences to that effect and appropriate time, if it is approved, we will have to mention schools”.
Mr. Dodovi will not mention names, but points out the Regional Minister is appalled by attempts to turn the schools into arena of politics and draw students into it.
He disagrees to suggestion Regional Coordinating Council wants to put fear into teachers.
“Investigation is still ongoing and our cameras are everywhere. We will definitely come to that. We cannot just get up and conjure this. No.” Mr. Dodovi insisted.
Meanwhile, the regional branch of the Conference of Heads of Assisted Schools has declined comments on the matter.
Regional executives say the matter has not come to their attention.
