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.

Meanwhile, the Gender Minister has now revealed that efforts are being made to get the assistant headmaster arrested.
The Gender minister further stated, “You know what the laws of the land are. Even if you are underage and you offer yourself to a man, and the man takes advantage of you, if you’re the one who even went there, the law says that once you’re underage, you should be protected, and that’s all we’ll do”.
“As to whether the girl took the video or went there [voluntarily], don’t let us justify abuse and all of these things going on. Sexual harassment is abuse, and abuse is sexual harassment. Don’t make excuses for it”, she asserted.
She emphasised, “And let us be in awareness so we can support people and protect them from being victimised and stigmatised. So that people will not be afraid to report”.
