Headmasters sacked for 'sabotaging' Free SHS

The Headmaster of Donkokrom Senior High School, John Mensah Dzokoto, has been sacked by the Ministry of Education through the Ghana Education Service.

Starr News has gathered that the Headmaster was accused of sabotaging the Policy by allowing Journalists to report on the plight of the School ostensibly to cast a slur on the Policy.

Speaking to Starr News, the embittered dismissed Headmaster said he has not been treated fairly. He said he was taken off government payroll since May 22,2019 and subsequently asked to retire though he has four(4) more years to meet the retirement age of 60.

The dismissal of the Donkokrom Headmaster is being revealed at the back of similar sacking of the headmaster of Aggrey Memorial Zion Senior High School in Cape Coast Rev. Dr Franklin Buadu.

Rev. Dr Franklin Buadu is alleged to have admitted second-year students into the boarding house without seeking the consent of his superiors.

His superiors deem the move as sabotaging enrolment of freshers into the school under the Free Senior High School Policy and the accompanying double-track policy, which is aimed at deepening access by maximising limited resources at the senior high schools.
