The school was closed after a guy entered with a machete and attacked a teacher.

After a cutlass-wielding young man invaded the school in an attempt to hack a teacher, the Kodjonya Millennium Presbyterian Junior High School in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality in the Eastern region has been temporarily closed.

Since the event on Wednesday, August 11, 2021, the school’s instructors have boycotted teaching in solidarity with the teacher whose life was threatened.

According to Star News, a National Service teacher reprimanded a form one Junior High School student in his class for misbehaving.

The youngster who had signed a good-behavior bond with three other students for earlier misbehavior told his brother that the teacher had reprimanded him.

The student’s brother then stormed into the classroom without permission while the teacher was teaching. He sat down alongside his younger brother, staring at the teacher.

The teacher urged him to leave the classroom, but he refused, forcing the teacher to leave. The young man rushed out of the classroom and went to his residence to get a machete.

Fortunately, the teacher had exited the building when the man returned with the machete, intent on attacking him.

The teachers unexpectedly closed the school for the time being and went home.

The Parent-Teacher Association, School Management Committee, community chiefs and elders, as well as police, put pressure on the suspect’s parents to surrender him to the police, which they did.

According to Odumase Police Commander Superintendent Doris Hutikpor, the student and his brother are currently in police custody.

This isn’t the first time something like this has occurred at the school.

In past situations in which the Ghana Education Service intervened to prevent teachers from boycotting academic work, some instructors were beaten and threatened.

The school’s PTA Chairman, Joseph Tetteh Wayo, told Starr News that preparations are underway to guarantee that teachers return to work on Monday.

He recognized that threats to teachers’ lives have become one too many as a result of community indiscipline.
