The Director General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Prof Kwasi Opoku Amankwah, has called for calm over reports of agitation among students of the Accra Girls’ Senior High School due to fears of Covid 19 infections at the school.
There are reports of heavy security at the school following anxious parents of the students trooping in to get their wards released to them due to allegations of the school recording cases of the novel coronavirus nearly a week after schools reopened for final year and form two gold track students.
But speaking on Asempa Fm’s Ekosiisen programme, Prof. Amankwah indicated that the GES and Ghana Health Service will come out with a joint release on the situation at the school.

He mentioned that a team from the GHS and the GES was also visiting the school to speak to parents on the developments there.
Earlier on Monday morning, Students of the school were seen clapping and chanting “we will go home” indicating that they should be allowed to go home. The students fear a possible spread of the disease after some colleagues tested positive to Covid19 and have been sent to the Ga East Municipal Hospital for treatment.
