A statement intercepted by Apexnewsgh.com signed by the Regional Chairman of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) John Akunzebe is demanding the closed down of Zamse Senior High Technical School, following the action and inactions of students against their teachers.
On the 7th of May, 2023, a teacher nearly lost his life after students have thrown a block on him from a two-storey school building, and subsequently on the 23rd of May, 2023 at the same school, another disturbance was recorded.
Following the recent incidents, NAGRAT believes the life of teachers in the Zamse SHTS is not secured. They are demanding the school to close down.
Below are NAGRAT full demands:
The National Association of Graduate Teachers Upper East Region says, they have noted with disgust and concern the current happenings in some Senior High Schools and Technical Vocational Institute Zamse SHTS and St. Benedicts TECH/VOC Institute by students. Hence we demand the following:
The teacher injured in the Zamse SHTS case by the student should be taken care of by the school, The school Zamse SHTS be closed down by the Regional Director of Education of Upper East Region until the safety of teachers is assured in the working environment, and The incident should be investigated and all those who are found complicated be sanctioned severely to avert such occurrences by students of Zamse SHTS, The police could be invited to help retrieve these guns from the students, If by the close of May 24, 2023, the school is not closed down, we would have no other alternative than to ask the teachers to lay down their tools.
It is our hope that the above measures and actions will be adopted and implemented immediately.
Thank you.
