After students went on a rampage on Sunday, the Krobea Asante Technical and Vocational School at Effiduase Asokore in the Sekeyere East District of the Ashanti Region has been temporarily closed.
The students caused a power outage before breaking into the school’s storerooms and scattering food items.
Although the cause of the riots is unknown, authorities believe it is related to the students’ dissatisfaction with their predecessors’ poor performance in the 2022 end-of-year examination.
“The police have invited about 40 of them for questioning. Unofficially what we hear from sources is that they are not satisfied with the results of their predecessors. Last Friday, January 20, 2023, the school authorities had a meeting with the P.T.A. and we were told they were not happy so that is what we have heard that is the immediate cause of the disturbances. We are hoping that the police investigations will unravel any other cause or not,” authorities said.
