Headmaster Interdicted for Impregnating Student.

The GES emphasized that the interdiction is not a declaration of guilt but a procedural step to ensure due process. “For the avoidance of doubt, this directive does not constitute a determination or presumption of guilt on your part, but is an administrative measure issued in furtherance of due process and institutional accountability,” the statement clarified.

As part of the conditions of the interdiction, the Headmaster is required to remain available to assist investigators at all times. He has also been barred from making any direct or indirect contact with the female students involved in the case, as well as any potential witnesses.

In the interim, the Municipal Director of Education for Ketu North has been tasked with overseeing the administration and management of Dzodze-Penyi Senior High School until further notice.

The GES reiterated its commitment to ensuring a safe and conducive learning environment across all educational institutions in the country, adding that it will not hesitate to take action where necessary to uphold professional standards and protect students.
