The Ghana Education Service (GES) has commenced investigations into two teachers of Pepease D/A Junior High School in the Ashanti Region following the circulation of a viral video showing them engaged in a physical fight inside a classroom.
Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu disclosed this in Parliament on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, assuring lawmakers that the incident would be thoroughly investigated and appropriate disciplinary action taken.
“Regarding the incident at the Pepease D/A JHS, the Ashanti Regional Education Director has been directed to conduct formal investigations,” he told Parliament.
The video, which has attracted widespread attention on social media, captures the two teachers exchanging blows in a classroom. The altercation was reportedly triggered by a disagreement involving a female colleague.
The Minister said the teachers would face disciplinary proceedings in accordance with the GES Code of Conduct and the Public Services Regulations.
“We will ensure that the GES investigates the matter and appropriate sanctions are applied,” he added.
The investigation is expected to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and determine the appropriate sanctions against the teachers.
