20 students of Ada SHS dismissed for swimming in a river

The school authorities of Ada Senior High School in the Greater Accra region have sanctioned 20 students who left the school without permission to go swim in a nearby river.

The students have been dismissed from the school, effective immediately.

In a video on X, the students were brought before the school assembly, and the punishment was stated publicly and explained to ensure understanding by all present. A female voice, which possibly belongs to the school’s headmistress, stated and explained the punishment in detail.

She stated that the final year students who have already registered for their West African Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) will be allowed to write their exams.

However, they cannot stay in the school or be found within the premises when they have no exam or have finished writing their papers. She stated that their parents must bring them whenever they have a paper.

“Your parents will come and wait patiently for you. When you finish, they will take you back till you are done with your WASSCE papers. If your parents do not have time that one is between you and them. It is your business.”
