They are alleged to have collected fees from parents in the ongoing admissions.
The headmasters who have been relieved of their posts include Assistant headmaster of Daffour Senior High School Rev S.P Eleworkor and Wisdom Blazu of the Pentecost SHS in the Eastern region.
A statement issued by the GES on Thursday said the sacked heads will be transferred to different schools to teach in the classrooms.
About seven heads have also been interdicted.

Mrs Florence Prah-Headmistress of Kwanyarko SHS
