The proprietor of a Senior High School situated at Mataheko in Accra who is also a priest of the Anglican church (name withheld), has allegedly ordered some students of his school to lie on their back and gaze directly at the sun for half an hour, for failing to buy a teaching syllabus.Some of the students narrating the incident on Asempa FM’s Abrabo programme on Tuesday said, they were in their various classrooms during lessons when the proprietor came to demand the teaching syllabus and further asked those who did not have it to see him in his office.According to them, upon reaching the principal’s office they realized almost all the first and second-year students had already gathered in front of the proprietor’s office for failing to produce their copies of the same syllabus.They said, it was then that he eventually asked all of them to lie straight on their backs with instructions to look directly into the sun.One of the complaining students said his other colleagues tried to lie on a cemented ground but the proprietor insisted that they lay on the bare ground watching the sun for 30 minute.Asempa FM spoke with the PTA Chairman of the school who admitted the allegation but said the proprietor has refused to admit his fault.Some parents of the school who were at a PTA meeting were so aggrieved at the fact that the proprietor has refused to render an apology to the parents.The public Relations officer of at the Ghana Education Service, Charles Parker-Allotey in an interview with Maame Akua, host of Abrabo has condemned the action of the school proprietor.Mr. Parker-Allotey stated that it is the responsibility of the school authorities to buy teaching syllabuses for the teachers of the school and not the students.He has therefore advised parents of the students to seek legal redress.Story by Yaa Ayisa/Asempa News/Ghana
