The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted a teacher, Mr. Mfo Richard Tibetor, at Okadjakrom Senior High Technical School in the Oti Region, over alleged sexual misconduct involving a female student.

In a statement issued on Thursday, October 2, GES said it had taken note of a disturbing video circulating on social media allegedly implicating the teacher in the act.

GES described the conduct as “unacceptable, unethical, and a clear violation of the professional code of conduct for teachers.”

The statement said Mr. Tibetor has been prohibited from entering the school premises while further investigations are carried out.

GES assured parents, guardians, and the general public that the safety and protection of students remains its topmost priority, stressing that any teacher found culpable of misconduct that compromises the dignity and well-being of students “will face the full rigours of the law in accordance with the GES Code of Conduct.”

The statement added that GES remains committed to ensuring discipline, professionalism, and child protection across all schools in the country.
