A male student of Mankessim Senior High school, in the Central Region of Ghana, was stripped of his shorts by his teachers because it was not a prescribed uniform of the school.
The teachers’ action reportedly followed the refusal of the 17-year-old Entertainment Prefect to change the mufti he had worn to an entertainment activity in the school, Joy News reported on Friday.
The incidence was caught on camera by an unknown person and shared on social media platforms.
In the 35-seconds video, a man said to be one of the teachers could be seen head-butting the young boy for resisting attempts to have his shorts forcefully removed. Another teacher was seen requesting for a pair of scissors to rip the shorts apart.
The case has caught the attention of the Director-General of Ghana Education Service, Prof. Kwesi Opoku Amankwaah, who has summoned the Head teacher of the School to Accra for questioning.
Municipal Education Director, Municipal Director Education, Martha Acquah, told the Joy News that the act constitutes an abuse. A disciplinary committee is investigating the case, she added.
Madam Acquah said although they have started an investigation, they are yet to hear the student’s side of the story because the school is on midterm break.
