The Ghana Education Service (GES) says it has started
investigations into the case of a teacher assaulting a nine-year-old pupil who
criticised the taste of her ‘sobolo’ drink.
Jonathan Korsinah, the Nkwanata
South Education Director, said it was an unfortunate development and they will
get to the bottom of the incident.
A pupil at Nkwanata South M/A Redeem
Basic School of the Oti region was canned to the point of injury for
criticising the ‘sobolo’ drink her teacher was selling in the
school.
The pupil (name withheld) sustained
multiple injuries on her body as she was severely beaten by her class
teacher whose name was given only as Madam Magdalene.
The student was physically assaulted last
week Friday after she complained to a friend in the school that the popular
sobolo drink sold by their class teacher was not sweet.

Offering his apologies, the Nkwanata South Education Director said
the teacher is in the wrong for what she did to the pupil.
Jonathan Korsinah said there are
several options the teacher could have used to correct the pupil and not going
overboard.
According to him, they have
contacted the child’s parents and has ensured that the pupil has undergone
medical check-up.
The pupil said she does not want to
go back to the Nkwanata South M/A Redeem Basic School so Mr Korsinah says
the Service is working on getting her transferred to another school.
Mr Korsinah said for now he
cannot say what punishment will be meted out to the teacher until they finish
their investigations.
