GES Confirms Arrest of Two Aduman SHS Teachers, Interdicts Them Over Alleged Sexual Misconduct
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has officially confirmed the arrest and interdiction of two teachers of Aduman Senior High School following allegations of sexual misconduct involving a male student.
In an official press release dated Thursday, November 12, 2026, the GES named the two staff members as Mr. Isaac Yankey and Mr. Palance Kwakye, confirming that both have been arrested by the Police in connection with the alleged incident.
The announcement, issued by the Public Relations Unit of GES Headquarters in Accra, brings official confirmation to the case that has attracted considerable public attention following the allegations made by a 17-year-old male student of the school.
Police Arrest Both Teachers
According to the GES statement, Management received reports of alleged sexual misconduct involving the two teachers and a male student of Aduman Senior High School.
Following receipt of the report, the matter was referred to the Police for investigation.
GES subsequently confirmed that both teachers had been arrested by the Police in connection with the alleged incident.
GES Interdicts the Two Teachers
In addition to the confirmation of the arrests, Management of the Ghana Education Service has interdicted Mr. Isaac Yankey and Mr. Palance Kwakye pending the outcome of investigations.
According to the GES, the interdiction is an administrative measure taken while the investigative process continues. It does not constitute a determination of guilt.
Student Receives Psychosocial Support
The Management also confirmed that the alleged victim has been provided with psychosocial support to safeguard his well-being.
This assurance forms part of the Service’s response to the incident and its commitment to protecting students within the education system.
GES Assures Public of Student Safety
Reaffirming its commitment to student protection, GES Management assured the public that appropriate measures would continue to be taken to ensure that all students learn in a safe and supportive environment.
The statement was signed by Mr. Daniel Fenyi, Head of Public Relations, Ghana Education Service, under reference number GES/HQ/PR/26/165.
What Happens Next?
With both teachers reportedly arrested and formally interdicted by GES, attention now turns to the ongoing Police investigations and the subsequent actions of the relevant authorities.
The allegations remain subject to investigation, and the two teachers are entitled to due process. An arrest or interdiction does not amount to a conviction.
The development has once again brought student safeguarding, professional conduct and the responsibility of educational institutions to protect learners into sharp focus.
GH Educate will continue to follow the case and report further verified developments.
