Sexual Misconducts: You Will Face Outright Dismissal- Ghana TVET Service Warns Heads

The Ghana TVET Service says it will not countenance any instance of unprofessionalism on the part of the heads or teachers of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).

This was in response to the case of an alleged sexual act involving the Assistant Headmaster of KNUST SHS, Mr. Charles Akwasi Aidoo, and a female student.

In a statement, the Service warned that flouters will face swift and decisive disciplinary action, including outright dismissal.

“As champions of the Sale School Initiative, leaders are expected to safeguard students’ dignity, security and well-being while upholding the highest standards of accountability and professionalism in public office.”

It also reassured learners, parents, training facilitators, and the general public that the Ghana TVET Service operates a zero-tolerance policy on abuse and misconduct within our institutions.

“The safety and well-being of learners remain our highest priority. We therefore encourage the reporting of any such incidents and misconduct so that they will be addressed finally and appropriately.”

It said it had launched the Safe School Initiative, a nationwide programme designed to safeguard students from abuse, harassment, and all forms of maltreatment.

“Through this initiative, the Service provides guidance, oversight, and support to schools and stakeholders, ensuring that classrooms remain sanctuaries of growth and opportunity, never spaces of fear or intimidation.”
