GES blocks salary of teacher in viral Bole SHS video

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has suspended the salary of the Bole Senior High School teacher who was captured on in viral video allegedly engaging in indecent conduct with a female student.

According to GES, the teacher has failed to report to work after the allegation surfaced, prompting the Service to halt his salary.

The matter has also been reported to the Ghana Police Service for his arrest and further investigation.

Speaking to the media on Tuesday, July 1, 2026, the Director-General of GES, Professor Ernest Kofi Davis, said the Service is collaborating with the Police to ensure the teacher is apprehended to face both criminal prosecution and internal disciplinary proceedings.

He disclosed that the teacher had already been interdicted before the decision was taken to suspend his salary due to his continued absence from duty.

Professor Davis described the alleged conduct as unacceptable and a serious breach of the standards expected of teachers, stressing that GES would invoke the toughest sanctions available under its code of conduct.

“We want to pursue legal action against the staff involved and also take him through our established processes under the code of conduct so that, at the end of the day, we apply the rules as stipulated in our code of conduct,” he said.

He added that the Service is determined to ensure the incident serves as a deterrent to others.

“We will apply the toughest sanctions to serve as a deterrent because we want our school environment to be safe. Teachers who expose children the way we saw in the video have no place in GES,” he indicated.

The teacher remains the subject of police investigations, while GES continue with its internal disciplinary process in accordance with its regulations.
