The senior high school teacher from Bole SHS who was caught on tape engaging in inappropriate acts with a student has appealed to the Ghana Education Service (GES) and government to transfer him to a village school as punishment.
In a viral video, the Bole teacher appealed to GES to rescind their decision to sack him from the teaching profession.
According to the Bole SHS teacher, he has learnt his lessons, describing his action as unfortunate.
Speaking in a viral video, the Bole Teacher stated, “What happened was unfortunate. The students had completed the school and so, I went to the science lab to pick up something, and the incident happened.
“I want to apologise to Ghanaians, and I have heard they [authorities] have sacked me from the teaching job. They should forgive me for what happened. I admit that my actions were bad and so they should forgive me,” he said.
He further appealed to the government to transfer him to another school, saying, “I am pleading with the government to at least transfer me to a village as punishment. I have learnt my lessons from what happened,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Minister of Education, Dr Clement Apaak, has disclosed that the Bole Senior High School teacher in the viral sexual misconduct video is on the run.
According to Dr Apaak, the Bole SHS teacher has allegedly gone into hiding after a viral video emerged.
He further called on Ghanaians to help the Security agencies track the Bole SHS teacher, as efforts are underway to locate and arrest him.
The Deputy Minister of Education further disclosed that the matter is being treated as an utmost urgency.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Wednesday, June 24, Deputy Minister of Education stated, “Our checks indicate that the teacher has gone into hiding. We know that law enforcement is also playing its part, and he is being sought after. If Ghanaians can assist law enforcement to apprehend him, it would be very helpful”.
Earlier, Dr Apaak called for sanctions to be imposed on both the teacher and the student in the Bole Senior High School sexual misconduct video.
Dr Apaak stressed that all parties must be held accountable under the rules governing Ghana’s education system.
He disclosed that the Ghana Education Service (GES) had acted appropriately by condemning the incident and launching investigations into the sexual misconduct case.
The Deputy Minister for Education noted that the teachers bear a greater professional responsibility because of their position of authority but added that students also have an obligation to avoid situations that make them vulnerable to exploitation and to report inappropriate advances.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile programme on Saturday, June 20, Dr Apaak stated, “The Ghana Education Service has condemned it, and investigations are ongoing, and we expect that the sanctions will be applied for both the teacher and student because the student ought not to put herself in that situation to be exploited by the teacher, and the student also has the mandate to report because we have systems as and when teachers make advances”.
He added, “Within the context of our code, they are both culpable. They are culpable in this sense. The teacher has the responsibility to act professionally and, by the code of conduct, is prohibited from having any knowledge or exhibiting conduct that suggests amorous intent, as the role is to teach and to act in a way analogous to a parent.
“So it is assumed to be your responsibility as a parent to treat them as you will treat your kids. You are expected to protect them and to ensure that they are not put in situations that will endanger them physically, emotionally and spiritually,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted a teacher at Bole Senior High School in the Savannah Region following the circulation of a viral video allegedly showing sexual misconduct involving the teacher and a student.
