“Some Teachers Fight Male Students Over Schoolgirls” — Teacher Alleges, Sparks Massive Discussion

According to a report by JoyNews on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, a teacher has alleged that some teachers fight male students over schoolgirls in Ghanaian schools. The claim has sparked a massive discussion on social media, with hundreds of people sharing their views and personal experiences.

Many commenters agreed with the teacher. Some described the claim as “a known knowledge.” Others said they were victims. One user, Adom Asare, wrote, “Its true, am a victim.” Another user, Isaac Mbola, called it “a fact,” and his comment received six reactions.

Several people shared stories from their school days. Adonu Raphael said a teacher caned him mercilessly in Junior High School. According to him, the teacher had been chasing a girl in their class, and she turned him down. Because the girl was close to him, the teacher believed he was the reason for the rejection.

Another user, Richy Rough Money, said his Junior High School science teacher often lashed him because he sat with the teacher’s crush on a dual desk. He said every question and every piece of compound work was directed at him. Koland Ernest also said he faced punishment in Senior High School because he had pretty female friends.

Olive Martin recalled that a teacher once accused her of dating someone in front of her colleagues during evening classes. Lord Wale Gh claimed he was made to pack 100 blocks because of a girl.

Stanislous Attan-win made a more serious claim. He said a teacher cursed his classmate over a schoolgirl, and the classmate was later struck by thunder in 2007. This claim has not been independently verified.

Some commenters reacted with humour, while others expressed concern. Kissiedu Florence Adzo wrote that she does not doubt the claim and described the situation as sad.

The comments show that many Ghanaians believe such cases are common. Many are now calling for stricter action to protect students from any form of abuse of power in schools.
