Offinso: Asuoso SHS student stabs teacher’s eye
A student of Asuoso Senior High School (SHS) in Offinso has stabbed a teacher in the eye according to reports.
According to the General Secretary of GNAT, Thomas Musah Tanko on November 8, 2024, he stated that he received a report from Asuoso Senior High School in Offinso. In the said report, a teacher had been stabbed in the left eye by a student after the teacher had asked the student, who was loitering, to enter the classroom.
The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has given the Ghana Education Service and Police Service three days to prosecute a student who stabbed the left eye of a teacher in Asuoso SHS in the Offinso North District
Speaking exclusively with 3news’ Daniel Opoku, Mr. Thomas Musah Tanko, said teachers may not hesitate to withdraw their services from next week if duty bearers fail to act swiftly.
According to the report, the teacher has lost his left eye currently while duty bearers such as the Ghana Education and the Ghana Police services are yet to act. The General Secretary, who has been angered by the situation, has served notice of industrial disharmony.
“The teacher has lost his left eye, meaning that for the rest of his life, he will be going through life with only one eye. His medical bills and all those things, who will take care of it?” he asked.
“That’s why we are by this medium telling the duty bearers of the GES that if by next week we do not hear anything positive, we will decide the next line of action,” Mr. Tanko warned.
