Nana Addo Sacks La PRESEC headmaster

The headmaster of La Presbyterian School, Samuel Salamat has been sacked for granting an interview to the media over the lack of furniture in the school.

According to reports, he has been transferred to the Curriculum Department of the Ghana Education Service (GES).

He was summoned by the GES for allegedly opening up to media concerning challenges faced in the school.

Following the implementation of the free SHS policy, first year students were reportedly urged to pay GH¢80 for desks or risk standing in class during teaching.

The directive, which is alien to most parents accompanying their wards to the school caused some confusion at the school’s premises.

He was summoned by the GES for allegedly charging illegal fees under the Free SHS policy.

Mr. Salamat, however, refused to attend the invitation to meet with the GES Director-General, Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa.

The GES, without any specifics, said it was still conducting investigations into the allegations against Mr. Salamat
After investigations by the GES, Mr. Salamat was transferred to the Curriculum Department of the GES.
