The three final year students of the Opoku Ware Senior High School in Kumasi who were suspended for allegedly practicing homosexuality in the school have been recalled, head teacher of the school has revealed.

The three boys, were suspended after a disciplinary committee established they were homosexuals, following a ‘caught-in-the-act’ report made against them by their colleagues.

They however deny the allegations.

A teacher in the school who spoke to Starr News on condition of anonymity in December when the incident occurred described the indefinite suspension of the students as unjust.

“I am deeply worried because these are adolescents who have a future and if as teachers or educationists, we are unable to help them to their aspirations and we look at...mere allegations from students and dismiss boys who have a bright future to live and tell some of the impact that some of us have had on them, then I am very worried”.

Some classmates of the suspended students also expressed their disappointment at the action of the school authorities.
