The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted Mr. Zakaria Abdulai, the Headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS), over alleged sexual misconduct. The interdiction takes immediate effect pending investigations into the allegations leveled against him.

In a press statement dated 14th October, 2026 and signed by Daniel Fenyi, Head of Public Relations at GES Headquarters, the Service said the decision is in line with its commitment to uphold professional ethics and protect learners. The statement indicated that the Ashanti Regional Director of Education has been directed to take over administrative oversight and ensure investigations are conducted.

According to the GES, Mr. Abdulai has been asked to step aside to allow for an independent and transparent investigation without interference. The Service assured parents, students and the general public that due process will be followed and that appropriate sanctions will be applied if the allegations are found to be true.

The GES reiterated its zero-tolerance policy for sexual misconduct and any form of abuse in schools, urging students and staff to report such cases through its confidential channels. The case at Obuasi SHTS adds to recent disciplinary actions taken by GES to sanitize the education sector and restore public confidence.
