The Deputy Minister of Education, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, has directed for the two students involved in the viral video where one of them was seen assaulting the other be reinstated.
All other students who were captured in the viral video have also been asked to come back to school.
The Deputy Education Minister gave this directive after he visited the school to have a better understanding of the matter.
Reverend Ntim Fordjour also stated that psycho-social support will be given to the student seen in the video while the assaulted victim is being treated at the hospital.
He has also directed school authorities to cooperate with the law enforcement agencies in other not to obstruct justice.
The Minister has also directed that a final report on the matter be made ready for further action.
“The victim in the video is responding to treatment at the hospital, and medical officers say he is well. The Ministry has also reversed the initial decision where the students in the video were suspended since they are going to write their final exams soon.
“This can be traumatizing for the students involved, so we have also deployed a team of psychologists to treat students who were in the video,” the Deputy Education Minister said.
“We have also directed the school authorities to corporate with security agencies to ensure that justice is served in the matter. This will inform further action. But we are also demanding a final report on the matter, and this will direct us on measures that will be taken going forward. Interestingly, this is not a case where a senior is bullying a junior since they are all colleagues.The issues of code of discipline will be enforced going forward,” the Deputy Education Minister said.
