The Headmistress of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Senior High School (SHS) has refuted claims that authorities at the school did not do enough to help save a final year student who died at a hospital yesterday.
Speaking exclusively on An?pa B?fo? on Angel 102.9 FM on Wednesday, Ms Felicia Asamoah Danquah said the authorities at the school did all within their means to save the final-year student.
According to her, teachers at the school bought some drugs for the student before calling in his parents to come convey him to the hospital.
“We did not abandon the student…some of our teachers helped to remove his uniforms before we called in the parents who said they were in town and would respond later…,” she told Captain Smart.
A final-year student of the school reportedly died after being rushed to a hospital yesterday.
The students allege that authorities at the school refused to offer the needed help to save the boy when he was in pain.
This has led them to embark on a violent demonstration which led to the destruction of several properties belonging to the school.
A vehicle belonging to the headmistress was also destroyed in the process.

This is just an excuse and a lie cos from KNUST SHS to Tech hospital is like 2 mins drive, how could they be so heartless, but I blame Akuffo Addo and his government. What do we gain if schools are opened and students lose their lives or get infected. He made a statement that "we can always revive the economy but what we can't do is bring back the dead". So what changed, everything is politics in Ghana, Do we need new ID cards at this pandemic era?
teachers, who are educated and expected to know better decided to bought drugs for a sick student instead of taking him to a medical facility. such foolishness... GES, should actually sack all the teachers involved as well.
