The Ghana Education Service has sacked eight (8) students of the Chiana Senior High School. The students were captured in a viral video hurling insults and abusive words at President Nana Akufo-Addo
A dismissal letter to a parent of one of the students explained that her conduct was considered very undesirable and contrary to the norms required of students
Eight second-year Chiana Senior High School pupils have been fired by the Ghana Education Service (GES) with immediate effect. They attend the school in the Upper East Region.
The pupils, who were all female, were seen in a popular video cursing and abusing President Nana Akufo-Addo.
The GES after probing the incident has found all the girl-students guilty of using unsavoury language against President Nana Akudo-Addo and recommended their dismissal.
The action of the students was described as “very undesirable and contrary to the acceptable standards of conduct generally required of any student in our Educational system in Ghana.”

The dismissal letter, dated November 29, 2022, and signed by Dr Eric Nkansah, Director General of the GES, requested that the parents make sure their children turn over all school property to the institution before finishing their education.
The GES also admonished the students to use this period as “a major turning point in her life to bring the desired change in her behaviour and attitude towards life.”
It will be recalled that there was a huge public uproar in November 2022 after a viral video captured about five girls taking turns staring into the camera to insult the president in Twi.
The female students did not point out exactly why they were descending on the president but mentioned that they were suffering on campus.
