In a shocking incident at Asuoso Senior High School in Offinso, a student st@bbed a teacher in the eye after the educator asked him to return to class.
The violent attack, which took place on November 8, 2024, has left the teacher permanently blind in one eye and sparked outrage across the education community.
GNAT has issued a stern warning to the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Ghana Police Service, giving them three days to prosecute the student involved.
If no progress is made, Tanko stated that teachers might consider withdrawing their services in protest.
“We are giving the authorities until next week to act. If nothing is done, we will be left with no choice but to take industrial action,” he warned.
The attack has raised serious concerns about the safety of teachers in schools, with many calling for stronger measures to protect educators from violence.
In the meantime, the teacher’s medical expenses and recovery process remain a pressing issue, with the community questioning who will bear the cost of his treatment.
The investigation is ongoing, and the education community continues to demand justice for the victim.
