The Assin North Education Directorate has relieved Mr James Atsiako, the Headteacher of Wawase D/A Basic School of his position as the headteacher.
He has also been transferred from the area to Sekanbodua D/A Basic school as a classroom teacher with immediate effect.
The Education Director of the area, Mrs Juliet Otame speaking in an interview indicated that this was an immediate measure to pave way for a smooth investigation.
She disclosed that the suspect will also appear before the District Disciplinary Committee after the investigation since the GES code of conduct frowns upon improper use of children labour.
Mrs Juliet Otame has vehemently condemned the act saying children are the future of the country and must be protected in all forms.
She said the headteacher's excuse that the chief of the town approved the use of school children for farming during school hours is unacceptable.
