One-week deadline given to defaulting teacher trainees to settle their fees or risk being sacked

Dr. Peter Ofori Attakorah,The Principal of Agona College of Education, has threatened to sack over three hundred (300) students who owes fees.

According to the Principal, an investigations carried out have revealed that most of the students who owe the school over GHC500,000 spent their fees on sports betting, booking of hotels with their girlfriends and investing in various unprofitable businesses.

He added that ” None of the first years currently owes the school. But those in levels 200, 300 and most especially the 400s are the ones owing huge amounts.

” Some of them have spent the money their parents gave them to pay their fees. Most of them used it for sports betting while others used it on other irresponsible lifestyles, He added.

The principal noted that the situation has led the school into serious financial distress.

“This has led the school into serious financial crisis because this is the same money used for various expenses in running the school’, he said.

He has therefore given the defaulting students a one-week deadline to settle their fees or risk being sacked from the school. “We have given all of them up to a week to settle their debts failure for which they will all be sent home,” he said.

“I am appealing to parents, if your ward is in the school and is owing fees while you have given them the money, please come, He concluded
