The Ghana Education Service (GES) has confirmed the arrest of three students involved in the attack on the student of Obrachire Senior High Technical School during the district inter-schools athletics competition by students of the Swedru School of Business (SWESBUS).<\/p>\n
The Central Regional Director of Education, Dr Juliette Dufie Otami, confirmed the update in an interview with JoyNews on Monday, February 23.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are working with the Police; they made about three arrests as of yesterday. That is the information I have gathered. Whether they are students or not is one of the things we are investigating. Because when these things happen, you will likely find town boys involved,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The clash reportedly occurred in Agona Swedru on Thursday, February 19, when tensions between students of the two schools escalated into a physical confrontation. The attack disrupted the event and raised serious concerns over the safety of students, staff, and spectators.<\/p>\n
Earlier, GES had issued a statement expressing deep concern over the developments, stressing that the incidents undermined the spirit of healthy competition and posed risks to all participants.<\/p>\n
In response to the situation, the Central Regional Directorate of GES has directed the immediate suspension of all zonal inter-school sporting activities among Senior High Schools (SHSs) and Senior High Technical Schools (SHTSs) in the region, pending a thorough investigation.<\/p>\n
GES has assured that appropriate measures will be taken to ensure accountability and restore order in school sporting events.<\/p>\n
