The Ghana Education Service (GES) in the Eastern Region has suspended Koforidua Senior High Technical School (SECTECH), New Juaben Senior High School (NJUSCO), and Nsutam Senior High Technical School (NSUTECH) from participating in all sports and co-curricular activities for two years.
The decision follows reported incidents of hooliganism involving students from the three schools before, during, and after the recent Regional Super Zonal Sports Competition.
In a letter dated February 11, 2026, the Eastern Regional Education Directorate stated that the conduct of the students breached provisions of the GES Code of Conduct on physical and psychological violence, as well as the Eastern Region Schools and Colleges Sports Association (ERSCSA) Code of Discipline relating to disturbances, riots, and hooliganism.
With immediate effect, the affected schools are prohibited from organising, participating in, or spectating sporting events and other co-curricular programmes, including quizzes, debates, cadetting, and entertainment activities at the school, zonal, and regional levels.
Beyond the suspension, each school has been fined GH¢500. The schools will also be held responsible for any property damage or personal injuries resulting from the incidents, with the final surcharge to be determined by an assessment committee.
Eastern Regional Director of Education, Dr. Ivy Asantewaa Owusu, urged school authorities to ensure that students, staff, alumni, and supporters strictly comply with GES and ERSCSA regulations to prevent further disciplinary measures.
