President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has granted amnesty to the eight dismissal students of the of China Senior High School who has insulted him for no wrong doings.
President Akufo-Addo has demonstrated his statesmaship to immediately intervene in the dismissal of the eight female students of China Senior High School.
A statement from the Education Ministry on Friday revealed that the President made the move after his attention was drawn to it.
Accordingly, the Minister for Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum has directed Ghana Education Service (GES) to revise its decision, the statement said.
On Thursday, the GES dismissed the eight students in the Upper East Region for allegedly insulting President Akufo-Addo.
Prior to the dismissal, the students had been on suspension.
The GES says its investigation into the incident confirmed that the students used unsavoury language against the President in a viral video.
It thus described the actions of the students as “very undesirable, and contrary to the acceptable standards of the conduct generally required of any student in Ghana’s educational system”.
Prior to the dismissal of the students, the GES had earlier apologised to the President over the said conduct.
