The eight dismissed students are pleading for mercy from Ghana’s president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in a viral video after they were dismissed by Ghana Education Service (GES).
In the viral video, the eight students are seen crying and pleading to the Ghanaian president to intervene for them to be recalled back to school.
The final students said they didn’t expect the video to cause such harm.
”We are sorry Mr president, GES director and all the Ghanaian people, we have nowhere to go, some us are orphans and single-parented”, one of the students added.
Eight students were dismissed for insulting Ghana’s president:
Ghana’s Education Service (GES) dismissed eight female students of the Chiana Senior High School in the Kassena-Nankana West District of the Upper East Region for making derogatory statements against President Nana Akufo-Addo.
The second-year students (who are now in their final year), the GES statement said, used vulgar and unprintable words on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in a viral video late last year.
The dismissal of the students follows an investigation into the case.
Prior to the dismissal, the students had been on suspension.
The GES, in the dismissal letter addressed to parents of the students, described their conduct as very undesirable, and contrary to the acceptable standards of the conduct generally required of any student in Ghana’s educational system.
