By in Development

The District Education Director, Mr. Frank Duah Boateng has cautioned newly employed teachers of the Atwima Nwabiagya North District not to molest students under their care.

Mr. Boateng cautions them to be more professional in all their engagement with those students.

He made the statement during a day orientation organized for the newly trained teachers posted to the Directorate on Wednesday, 12th October, 2022 at the Barekese Methodist Church.
