Authorities at Opoku Ware SHS have dismissed rumours that over 1,000 students were de-boardinised for leaving school without permission during the easter break.

Reverend Stephen Sekyere Owusu, the Headmaster of Opoku Ware School, said the number of students affected was much smaller.

Owusu said a roll call was conducted last week, revealing students who left school before the set date for leaving school.
