Adisadel's reputation

YEN.com.gh has in the past noted Adisadel College as being perceived to be one of Ghana's more notorious schools.

Though it is ranked as one of Ghana's 10 best boy schools, it is also believed to be the number one school that produces "bad boys."

Adisdel was ranked alongside schools like Pope John's Senior High School and St. Augustine's College.

GES cracks the whip

The GES interdicted the head teacher of West Africa Senior High School last week because the head teacher, Dr Shine Ofori, was collecting money from students without authorisation.
