I Can Boldly Say None of My Male Teachers Ever Made Any Sexual Advances Towards Me – Princess Rafia

In an Official Facebook Post by Princess Rafia on 21 October, 2026, a former student of Obuasi Senior High Technical School reflected on her experiences as a teenager in secondary school. She stated “I can boldly say none of my male teachers ever made any sexual advances towards me, instead they corrected me.” While expressing sympathy for students who have recently alleged abuse and misconduct within educational institutions.

According to Princess Rafia, her years in secondary school were marked by the typical challenges of adolescence, including moments of indiscipline and encounters with strict teachers who ensured that school rules were followed. She recalled being punished on several occasions for misconduct, including scaling school walls and leaving campus without authorization despite being a boarding student.

While admitting that she was not a perfect student, she emphasized that her teachers consistently focused on discipline, guidance, and mentorship rather than exploiting their positions of authority. She noted that whenever she went astray, teachers corrected her behavior and sought to help her recognize the consequences of her actions.

One particular experience she recounted involved a teacher, Eugene Kofi Amankwaa, who confiscated her mobile phone after she was caught using it in class. Princess Rafia recalled her embarrassment after the phone was taken to the staff common room, where teachers examined its contents. However, rather than imposing severe punishment, she said the teacher chose a different approach by engaging her in a heartfelt conversation that addressed important life issues and encouraged her to make better choices.

According to her account, that guidance had a lasting impact on her. She explained that feelings of remorse and respect for the advice she received led her to voluntarily put the phone away until she returned home for vacation. The experience, she indicated, reinforced the importance of mentorship and the positive influence educators can have on young people.

Princess Rafia’s reflections were shared in the context of recent allegations involving students and school authorities. She expressed deep concern for young girls who may have experienced inappropriate treatment, stating that she could easily imagine herself or any of her former classmates in a similar situation because they all once wore the same school uniform and faced the vulnerabilities associated with adolescence.

She observed that students at the senior high school level are often particularly vulnerable because many lack the confidence or support systems needed to speak openly about sensitive issues. As a result, harmful experiences can leave lasting emotional scars that may continue into adulthood.

The former student also reflected on the school leadership structure during her time on campus. She explained that students rarely interacted with the headmaster, whose presence was mostly limited to official assemblies and occasional encounters on campus. In contrast, she remembered the headmistress and other staff members as being more visible and actively engaged in the daily management of student affairs.

Princess Rafia expressed surprise at suggestions that students may now have greater access to school administrators than was common during her years in school. She noted that times appear to have changed significantly and emphasized the importance of ensuring that the welfare of students remains a priority.

Her post concluded with a call for justice for any students who may have suffered wrongdoing. She expressed hope that those affected would receive the support, protection, and fairness they deserve, while highlighting the broader responsibility of educational institutions to safeguard young people entrusted to their care.

The comments have added to ongoing public conversations about student welfare, accountability, and the need to maintain safe learning environments where young people can pursue their education free from fear, exploitation, or abuse.
