The Ghana Education Service (GES) has initiated an investigation into a disturbing incident at Kumasi Academy, where a female student was physically assaulted by her peers.
The incident, which took place on Monday, August 12, has sparked widespread outrage and raised serious concerns about student discipline and safety within the school.
Sampson Anawuni, the Municipal Director of Education, confirmed that the GES has established a committee to investigate the incident and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
He emphasized that the incident represents a severe abuse of a girl-child and underscored the need for swift and decisive action to address the issue.
