Kumasi: Over 500 KTI students sent home for misconduct

Authorities at the Kumasi Technical Institute in the Ashanti Region have sent over 500 students home due to their misconduct and violation of school rules.

The students, who were all in the boarding house, reportedly caused damage to school properties during a rampage on May 17.

The authorities say they have submitted an official report of the conduct of the students to the Technical and Vocational Education Training Directorate for the appropriate action.

Citi News has learned that the affected students failed to attend a general assembly parade on Friday during which the authorities conducted a roll call.

The authorities subsequently asked the students to pack their luggage out of the dormitories and will be made to face the school’s disciplinary committee when they are recalled.

The authorities are expected to meet the parents of the affected students to brief them on the development.

Most of the affected students on Friday left the school while others were still packing out when Citi News visited the premises.
