The interdicted headmaster of Adisadel College in the Central Region, Mr. William KusiYeboah, has been relieved of his position and redeployed to the Ashanti Regional office of the Ghana Education Service for re-assignment.

Myshsrank.com can confirm that Mr. Kusi-Yeboah has been replaced by the Headmaster of Assin State College in Assin Bereku in the Central Region, Mr. Francis K. Agbodanu. Even though the changes take effect on March 1, Mr. Kusi-Yeboah has been given two weeks to round up and hand over appropriately to his successor.

Decision
The decision to redeploy Mr. Kusi-Yeboah was based on recommendations of a committee set up to investigate various acts of violations of Ghana Education Service (GES) procedures. The committee was chaired by the Deputy Director-General of GES in charge of Management Services, Mr. Anthony Boateng.

Recommendations
The recommendations, which had been presented to the Director-General of the GES, Prof. Kwasi Opoku Amankwa, among others, asked that Mr. Kusi-Yeboah is redeployed outside the school. It also called for sensitization of heads of schools and other stakeholders to appropriate structures and procedures of the GES, including how to deal with recalcitrant final-year students in senior high schools (SHSs).

Findings
According to the findings, Mr. Kusi-Yeboah “issued directives on the advice of his management to the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to deregister two of his students for the WASSCE because they posed a threat to the school. “Mr. Kusi-Yeboah informed the committee that he took the decision to communicate to WAEC without recourse to the GES because they believed that the school will not get a favorable response from the GES,” it stated. It also claimed that two members of the school’s governing board and the management were not consulted before Mr. Kusi-Yeboah took the decision and so he acted unilaterally. According to the committee, when Mr. Kusi-Yeboah was confronted with the findings of the committee, he conceded his mistakes and apologized.


Letter
A letter to the incoming headmaster, who is also a former student of the school, said: “For the purposes of disciplinary control, you will be responsible to the Director-General through the Board of Governors of the school, as well as the district and regional directors of education.“You are please also reminded that your continuous stay at that position is contingent on the exigency of the service, good conduct, and performance,” it emphasized.
