Concerned Parents Seek Removal of Ho Municipal Education Director

A group of concerned parents hailing from the Regional Model Basic School in Ho is calling on authorities to oust Dr. Esther Adzo Adzimah-Yeboah, the Ho Municipal Education Director. The parents highlight disruptions to the school’s governance, academic performance, and administration as grounds for this action.
Organizer Rockson Fiagbor, speaking at a press conference in Ho, voiced the frustrations of the aggrieved parents regarding the dwindling educational standards at the school. They attribute this decline to the arbitrary transfer of qualified teachers, including headmistresses, supposedly because of their involvement in divulging information about the PTA’s leadership and administration.
The parents argue that such actions have negatively impacted the learning environment, resulting in a decline in students’ academic achievements. They also raise concerns about alleged meddling in the PTA election process by the Municipal Education Director, explaining that a well-organized PTA election was unexpectedly halted indefinitely after candidates supported by the Education Director and the former PTA executives suffered defeats.
Moreover, the parents express worry over the insufficient ICT infrastructure at the institution, where more than 1,200 students are forced to share just four desktop computers. They also accuse Dr. Adzimah-Yeboah of using threats of student dismissals to silence parents who question the school’s management practices.
The parents highlight the prolonged stay of the same individual in key PTA positions for over twelve years, raising questions about ethical and financial propriety.
Clad in red attire, the concerned parents later submit a petition to the Volta Regional Minister’s office, seeking intervention in the matter as attempts to prompt action from the Regional Education Directorate have yielded no response.
Furthermore, the parents demand an inquiry into alleged mismanagement of PTA funds and the validation of last year’s PTA election outcomes. They also request an inspection of the school’s infrastructure, particularly the unfinished JHS block, which they claim poses a safety risk to students.
