The headmaster of Dzodze-Penyi Senior High School, Joshua Vidzro, has been asked to temporarily step aside by the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) over alleged sexual misconduct, according to a statement released here on Sunday.
The statement from the Volta Regional Education of the GES observed that it has been occasioned by the alleged involvement of the headmaster in sexual misconduct with some female students.
“Under instructions from the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service, you are hereby directed by the management of the Regional Directorate of Education to step aside from your position as the headmaster of Dzodze-Penyi Senior High School with immediate effect,” read the statement.
“The directive arises consequent upon your alleged involvement in sexual misconduct with some female students of Dzodze-Penyi SHS, which allegation requires urgent investigation. The temporary cessation of your official duties is deemed necessary to guarantee the integrity of the investigative process and to preclude any real or perceived interference therewith,” it explained.
The directive instructed the embattled headmaster to hand over official duties, responsibilities, records, and any property of the institution to the Municipal Director of Education for Ketu North.
The GES further directed Mr. Vidzro to vacate the premises of the school from Monday, December 8, 2025, after handing over and making himself available to the relevant authorities during their investigations.
Meanwhile, the Municipal Director of Education for Ketu North has been directed by the Regional Education Directorate to take charge of the administration and management of the school until further notice. End item
