The school authorities (being the co-workers of the teachers) will never sack them, instead they will just warn them to desist from such advances. I suggest the ministry of education must act promptly, punish them to deter others who might be planning to tread our girls in this manner. The teacher at his age must have a wife and stop the nonsense.

Unbelievable. This is not funny. So these teachers can't get any woman to release their sexual prowess or better still their libidos than the very children they're to train. Eeeeeiiii.

Eiiii. God huv mercy. Rot everywhere. They r teachers who take salary so they shd get a lady and marry. God will punish them paaaa for ruining the lives of these children. GES of that district shd wake up. They should stop appointing District directors of GES based on politics. I also think women shd be given such positions.

Please,teachers allow the kids to develop. It's your responsibility to helpbthem go through the adolescent stage successfully. That's is the ideal way. You are not supposed to be a standing block to their education. Just look at what you have caused. I pray the authorities take a very serious action and extend it to all schools in Ghana. Girls are suffering from the hands of some irresponsible teachers. Aden? Why are these evils spoiling the noble profession?

This has been happening for years and is happening everyday. What is wrong with these sick, disgusting men who have been placed in a position of trust.

Anyway what do you expect when there are no safeguarding laws / policies in place or in forced.

What systems are in place to safeguard children in nurseries,schools and colleges Ghana !

What background checks e.g criminal record checks, character refereces are carried out! (Well in a country that you can buy / bribe your way into anything I guess this wouldn't work)

Well I guess none of the above if possible because most if the system is corrupted and the people who are in position to sort this mess out are most probably pervering or sleeping with over some under age girl themselves!

Sick system!

That's a good report, but should have been in an investigative story. For prosecution to take place at court. How are they to be punished? You people should have also written a letter to UNICEF, UNESCO, GES and Attorney General. Like what we did to KINTAMPO SHS in the Brong Ahafo Region. Azeteng Narwhal Azeteng is my investigative name. But first know as Azeteng Ligingiil Azeteng. People hardly mention the name Ligingiil, that why I changed it.

I smell a revenge here. Someone is simply trying to get even with the said teacher Aikins. If one should do critical analysis of the story, one will realize that the writer sensationally mentioned 13 girls but ended up talking about only one even under the state of anonymity. Come on guys, the writer must be investigated for defamation of character.

Am back again, as an investigative journalist. The journalists who under covered the story didn't under cover it well; this is unprofessional. Why should you use the students picture and not the headmaster or those teachers involved? Next time have time and under cover your investigations very well. So, where are those teachers, staff ID, where they stay, subjects they teach. Have you written a letter to GES, UNICEF and UNESCO office at Accra and Attorney General for prosecution and a committee to be set up for them to be dismissed? If they don't dismissed them, we will follow up the story again. Thanks.
