Lawmaker Condemns Fight Between 2 Ghanaian Teachers

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Ghana’s Kumawu Constituency, Ernest Yaw Anim, has condemned two Ghanaian teachers for fighting each other recently.

He described the fight between the two male teachers at a school in the Ghanaian town of Pepease, as “a disgrace to the teaching profession.”

Reports indicate that the teachers engaged in a physical fight on school grounds over a personal dispute involving a female colleague.

The fight, which allegedly occurred in the presence of students, has sparked outrage within the community and beyond.

In a statement, Mr Anim lamented such behavior is “highly unacceptable and unprofessional,” adding that educators must uphold high standards of discipline and serve as role models for students.

According to him, “If our educators cannot model responsible behavior. we risk sending the wrong message to the very students they are meant to guide and inspire.”

Calling on the Ghana Education Service (GES) to launch an immediate investigation, the MP urged the application of appropriate sanctions to preserve the integrity of Ghana’s learning institutions.

He further encouraged the school’s administration to provide psychological support to students who may have been traumatized by the incident.

“This shameful episode not only brings disrepute to the school and the wider educational community but undermines the authority and respect that teachers are meant to embody,”.

The MP called for unity and renewed commitment to professionalism in Ghana’s schools, stating, “Our educators must be shining examples our children can look up to, not fear or question.”
