The Assistant Headmaster in charge of Academics at Prempeh College, Solomon Nti on Tuesday sacked journalists from his office.
Reports earlier indicated that some 51 Form 1 students who were repeated because they failed in the previous terminal exam were asked to go home since the school could not accommodate them by charging fees, following the implementation of the Free SHS policy.
In an attempt to seek the comments of the school authorities of the on the matter, the Journalists visited the Assistant Headmaster of the school in charge of Academics for his response, but the latter who was incensed threw them out of his office saying he is not ready to speak to the media concerning the issue.
“I am not ready to talk to any journalist. You are journalists and so what? Prempeh College has not sacked any student from the school. The issue is between the school and parents, not journalists. I don’t have time for your so-called interview. Leave my office before I lose my temper†he told journalists.

However, Osei Kwadwo speaking to a section of parents of the affected students confirmed their children have been sacked from the school since their names are not on the school list anymore.
“We have heard that most of the parents who can afford to give money to the authorities have been able to secure place for the children. We don’t have money to secure place for our children and we don’t have money to send them to a different school. How can Prempeh College sack our children because they failed exams?†an aggrieved parent said.
Meanwhile, an affected student revealed that the Assistant Headmaster in charge of Academics, Solomon Nti earlier on told them 69 form 1 students failed their exams but now the figure keeps on reducing.
“We want the school to repeat or promote us because we are not ready to leave the school. We will take our studies serious so we can pass and pass well†they said.
Although some of the affected students have left campus, others are yet to leave for home as they have been shocked by the action.
