The Regional Director of Education in the Western Region has lashed a class-two female teacher for equally whipping some of her pupils who showed up in class late to write examination on Wednesday.
The teacher [name withheld], of Well Rose Methodist School at Sekondi, was said to have caned the class-two pupils who were late to school, in front of the classroom where she gave them lashes in their palm.
Sources say the Regional Director of Education, Enyonam Afi Amefugah, whose office is adjacent the school, was driving by the school to his office when he spotted the teacher caning the pupils.
Mr Amefugah who was not happy, consequently stopped and went into the classroom to question the teacher of her actions after which he was said to have taken the cane and lashed the teacher for her action. But the reaction of the Director is said to have angered some teachers and the Ghana National Association of Teachers in the region who lodged a complaint with the appropriate authorities.
Meanwhile, speaking on Connect FM Thursday, the Local Manager for Methodist Schools, Very Rev. Emmanuel Kwesi Arhin has assured that the matter is being investigated.

Where is the world heading towards to soar if you are education director n so what? if a child does something wrong and u come in favour of the kids then what are you trying to tell the teacher. hmm only in that profession that can happen. You can't do this but only in education sector n off course Methodist education units.
That's why I'm always praying to leave this profession
Pls she is a woman ooo,the former district director at twifo atti-morkwa.her head hard rough.no wonder her signatures and stamps had to be forged on documents all the time since she wont approve them
the director shld have invites de Tr in his office and advised her not to do that again. Also, de pupils need to be discipline in order to become good citizen for that's our culture value.
So annoying and ***barred word*** attitude the regional director Amefuger did lashed the teacher in front of the school pupil what a shame Amefuga, We need to discipline our school children from the beginning of their childhood until they reach their higher level of education in other to blooding their mind in focusing and have self determination. This guy Amefuger need to be sack.
Shameful act by so called leader, Amefugah. You are a disgrace to your office as a Regional Director.
