Teaching and learning activities at the Konongo Odumase Senior High School in the Ashanti Region have come to a halt following a decision by the school\u2019s board to send the students home for rioting.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Citi News<\/strong>, David Asare, tutor at the school who also doubles as the Chairman of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) for the Asante Akyem Central Municipality said \u00a0the decision was taken after a board meeting.<\/p>\n

The students went on rampage<\/strong><\/a><\/span> on Friday at the premises of the school over what they described as \u2018unlawful\u2019 transfer of some ten teachers by the headmistress, Comfort Odehe.<\/p>\n

The students claimed the headmistress\u2019 action was because the teachers were leading a “crusade” for the arrest of another teacher who had allegedly sodomised two of the students.<\/p>\n

During the protest, the students threatened to burn down the school.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents have been asked to go home as a result of the demonstration that they had, the board chairman was around and asked the children to go home. He said they would be communicated to as and when they want them to come back. It was as a result of the board meeting that the decision was arrived at since we did not want to take chances,\u201d David Asare noted.
