After violent disturbances, 40 students at the Krobea Asante Technical and Vocational School in Effiduase Asokore, Sekeyere East District, Ashanti Region, were arrested yesterday.
Following a series of protests, the students vandalized school and private properties and later cut power to the school, resulting in further disorder.
The school’s principal was also subjected to violent attacks, as vandalizing students broke into his apartment.
According to reports, the students’ anger stemmed from their predecessors’ poor performance on their final examinations.
The Assembly Member for the area Ebenezer Opoku, who also serves as Coordinator for Free SHS in the District, confirmed the unfortunate incident.
He disclosed that the students destroyed a total of six vehicles, including four school-owned vehicles and two private vehicles belonging to teachers.
Dr. Annor Ankrah, the Regional Director of Education for Ashanti, and Mr. William Agyapong, the District Director of Education for Sekyere East, went to the school later to check on the situation.
