They were sanctioned after investigations revealed that they had no justification for charging unapproved fees under the government’s Free SHS programme in 2017.
Nine heads of various Senior High Schools who were interdicted for charging unapproved fees have been granted amnesty by the Ghana Education Service (GES).
The nine include the Headmistress of Kwenyarko SHS, Florence Pra; Headmistress of Ahantaman SHS, Mercy Ocloo; Head of Ekumfi Ameyaw SHS, Julian Okon; Headmaster of Assiwa SHS, Christian Attram ; Headmaster of La Presbyterian SHS, Samuel Salamat and Headmaster of Aggrey Memorial SHS, Rev. Franklin Boadu.

Some teacher unions have since been calling for their reinstatement, describing as unfair the treatment meted out to them.
But, in an interview on Accra-based Class FM on Monday, January 8, Chairman of the GES Council, Michael Nsowah, said the interdicted heads have finally been pardoned.
“We are done with their case and many of them have been pardoned and we don’t have any [issues],” he said.
