The arrest was confirmed by the Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Education Service, Daniel Fenyi, in a Facebook post on June 9, 2026.
The incident has sparked public concern after a video widely shared on social media appeared to show the teacher physically confronting the student while onlookers pleaded with him to stop.
The teacher repeatedly punched the female student and, at one point, lifted her and threw her to the ground, leaving her helpless.
In the footage, witnesses can be heard protesting the teacher's action.
The circumstances that led to the confrontation have not yet been disclosed by school authorities or the Ghana Education Service.
There have been similar cases of assaults in some public schools.
The Ghana Education Service was petitioned to probe the alleged assault of a third-year student at Labone Senior High School.
According to a letter to the service, the incident took place on June 18, 2024, when a housemaster, Eric Agyemang, slapped the student.

Teachers abandon school over alleged curse
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh reported that teaching and learning at Kobedi AME Zion Primary and JHS in the Bono Region were suspended indefinitely after teachers boycotted classes.
The head teacher, Madam Gladys Dorlo Batinge, and another colleague reportedly died under sudden circumstances.
Some residents claimed the situation is tied to a curse allegedly invoked by a student, with staff insisting they will not return to work.
