GES orders Sawla SHS to recall over 30 suspended students

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has reversed the indefinite suspension of over 30 students at Sawla Senior High School in the Savannah Region.

The directive comes after the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District Director of GES, Anthony Kwasi Yeboah, clarified that the school lacked the authority to impose such a punishment.

Speaking to JoyNews, he stated that the headmaster had been instructed to recall the affected students immediately.

The suspension, imposed for alleged immoral behavior and possession of mobile phones, was enforced without consulting the district or regional GES offices or informing parents.

Following media reports, GES intervened and pledged to monitor the situation closely.

Mr. Yeboah plans to visit the school to ensure compliance with the directive.
