Rev Isaac Owusu, the President of, Ghana National Association of Teachers, has weighed into the brouhaha over the growing sexual misconduct in Ghana’s Senior High Schools involving teachers and students.
According to the GNAT president, teachers should stop having inappropriate sexual relationships with their students and instead focus on single, beautiful female teachers.
The GNAT president is quoted by GHOne TV to have said, “Male teachers, we(GNAT) are pleading with you, if you want to do the ‘thing’, we have nice, beautiful female teachers who are single”.
His comments follow the Ghana Education Service (GES) interdiction of yet another teacher for alleged sexual misconduct at the Okadjakrom Senior High Technical School in the Jasikan Municipality of the Oti Region.
Mr Mfo Richard Tibetor has been interdicted by the GES for alleged sexual misconduct involving a female student.
The GES, in a statement on Thursday, October 2, announced it had taken note of a viral video being circulated on social media implicating Mr Tibetor.
The Ghana Education Service (GES) declared the teacher’s conduct as unacceptable, unethical, and a violation of the professional teachers’ code of conduct.
Mr Mfo Richard Tibetor has been interdicted and barred from entering the school premises.
The statement signed by the Head of Public Relations at GES, Daniel Feny, highlighted the Service’s obligation to ensure discipline, professionalism, and child protection.
In related news, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has removed Charles Akwasi Aidoo, Assistant Headmaster (Academic) of KNUST Senior High School, after a viral video showed him in a compromised position with a female student.
According to the GES, Mr Charles Akwasi Aidoo has been barred from entering the school premises while investigations are ongoing.
The GES also assured Ghanaians that due process will be followed and that any disciplinary action taken will be in line with the GES code of conduct.
The GES, in a statement signed by Head of Public Relations Daniel Fenyi, reads, “ The attention of the Management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) was drawn to a viral video circulating on social media, allegedly involving Mr Charles Akwasi Aidoo, the Assistant Headmaster (Academic) of KNU ST Senior High School, in a compromised position with a female student.
Management views the matter with utmost seriousness. In line with our commitment to safeguarding the integrity of the teaching profession and ensuring the safety and welfare of students under our care, Mr Aidoo has already been removed from office and prohibited from going to the school while thorough investigations are being carried out.
“Management assures the general public, stakeholders, parents, and students that due process will be followed, and the appropriate disciplinary action will be taken in accordance with the code of conduct of the Ghana Education Service.
The GES remains committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, discipline, and child protection in all our schools. We strongly condemn any acts that compromise the safety, dignity, and well-being of students”, the GES statement added.
Meanwhile, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the vice president, has condemned the growing sexual misconduct in Ghana’s Senior High Schools.
According to Prof Opoku-Agyemang, teachers being transferred after inappropriate sexual relationships between them and students is not a punishment.
Prof Opoku-Agyemang labelled Teachers involved in sexual misconduct acts as disgraceful to the noble profession of teaching.
The vice president urged teachers to embrace mentorship and lifelong learning as important elements of their professional development.
She further highlighted that the government will not waver in punishing individuals who infringe the trust placed in them by students.
Speaking at the Ghana Teacher Prize Ceremony at the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) on October 5, 2025, Prof Opoku-Agyemang stated, “Leadership cannot ignore those teachers in positions of power who abuse our young pupils. The recent event involving one of our teachers in a management position is a case in point. As teachers, we must always remember that we are placed in a position of trust, protection, and empathy.
“The power given to us is to facilitate learning. We will not wait to apply sanctions to those who violate that trust”.
“Remember, transfers are not punishment and so they should never be used against those who abuse our children, betray their trust, and those who disgrace our profession.”
“The government has also decided to revive PTAs to encourage broader participation in forming our young learners,” she added.
