A former President of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG), Professor Charles Ofosu Marfo, has said some teachers are suffering in schools at the hands of certain students.
According to Professor Marfo, there are no saints in the world, as everyone has a shortcoming.
Professor Charles Ofosu Marfo, speaking on the viral video involving the current Assistant Headmaster of KNUST Senior High School, Charles Akwasi Aidoo, made this known.
Speaking on Oyerepa TV on October 6, 2025, Professor Marfo stated, “There is no saint in the world. Everyone has their shortcomings, and we must work to fix them.
So, this is a wake-up call to fix things. That’s why I’m saying, how old is the child? Look at the background. How old is she? How is her lifestyle? I have even heard that it was through the teacher that they sacked her boyfriend from the school, so it was essentially a punishment for him.
There are several other incidents like this, but this one just happened to be captured on video. As humans, we must know our shortcomings and work on them”, he stated.
Professor Marfo noted that, every man likes women and is a potential womaniser.
He further added, “That is why, when men say they don’t like women, I see them differently because to me… You’re not a man if you say you don’t like women because every man likes women and is a potential womaniser.
There are bigger issues that need attention. Some teachers are also suffering in schools at the hands of certain students. For instance, there was a case where a student reportedly locked a teacher in an office, demanding an affair or threatening to frame him if he refused”, he said.
Additionally, 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”.
Also, 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.
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.
Her 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.

According to the GES, Mr Charles Akwasi Aidoo has been barred from entering the school premises while investigations are ongoing.
