This comes on the back of a recent riot in the St Pauls\u2019 Senior High School which triggered by failure of the schools administration to appropriately punish alleged homosexual students<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n Speaking in an interview with Citi News<\/strong>, the Deputy Regional Director of Education Dickson Ogordor added that special committees will be set up at the school level to monitor students and weed-out those engaging in acts of homosexuality.<\/p>\n \u201cThe issue of sodomy and lesbianism are criminal issues and the constitution of Ghana allows for all the rights. So it is difficult for us to say somebody is a lesbian or a gay,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He explained that the committee would ensure that any homosexual student found culpable are dealt with according to the rules and regulations of the school.<\/p>\n He said \u201cif that is so persistent then we will ask the parent to take their children to the psychiatrist or any psychologist for advice.\u201d<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Godwin Allotey Akweiteh\/citifmoline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n
