Pepease D/A JHS teachers in viral fight video to face disciplinary action – Education Minister

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has begun investigating two teachers at Pepease D/A Junior High School in the Ashanti Region after a video of them fighting went viral.

Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu announced this in Parliament on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

“Regarding the incident at the Pepease D/A JHS, the Ashanti Regional Education Director has been directed to conduct formal investigations,” he told Parliament.

The video, which has spread widely on social media, shows the two teachers trading blows inside a classroom. The fight was reportedly sparked by a disagreement involving a female colleague.

The minister said the teachers will face disciplinary action.

“Disciplinary proceedings will be initiated in accordance with the GES Code of Conduct and the Public Services Regulations. We will ensure that the GES investigates the matter and appropriate sanctions are applied,” he added.
