Minister for Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, has ordered the Ghana Education Service to immediately suspend Mr. Zakaria Abdulai, the headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School. This decisive action follows troubling allegations that the headmaster sexually abused a female student in the Ashanti Region. The Ministry stepped in quickly after initial reports surfaced to protect students and maintain discipline across our secondary institutions.
Parents send their wards to school expecting total safety, not heartbreak. When a trusted leader allegedly crosses the line, the whole educational system feels the shock. Investigations are already moving fast to uncover the full truth behind what happened at Obuasi SHTS. The Ghana Education Service wants everyone to know that school grounds must remain safe zones for every single child.
Accountability matters a lot in leadership, and nobody is above the law. Authorities are urging calm while due process takes its full course to deliver justice. Keeping our classrooms safe requires strict watchfulness from teachers, parents, and students alike. True progress in education only happens when our children can learn without fear.
