| Ghana's Premier School- Mfantsipim |
Headmaster of Mfantsipim School, Mr. John Kwamina Ankomah
Simpson has been asked by the Ghana Education Service (GES) to step aside to
pave way for investigations into the alleged bloated fees charged students for the
2nd term for the 2015/16 academic year.
A letter which was signed
by the Director General of GES; dated December 22 and addressed to Mr. J.A.K
Simpson stated that the headmaster was being asked to step aside for charging
illegal fees.
“As a result of the
collection of illegal fees from students of Mfantsipim School, you are directed
to immediately step aside from responsibilities as the Headmaster of the
school, pending further investigations into the illegal collection”.
Meanwhile, the Central
regional Director of Education will have oversight responsibilities for the school
according to the statement. GES announced last year that it will sanction any
Head of school caught charging unapproved fees in their institutions. This according
to the Director General of GES, Jacob A.M Kor , will serve as a deterrent to
other head of schools from charging unapproved fees.
The GES added that the
sanction is part of measures to address the issue of unapproved fees and levies
charged by some Heads of schools.
