Juliet Otame said the decision to demote and transfer James is to allow further investigations into the headteacher's alleged misconduct.
YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a group of unidentified Ghanaian senior high school students had turned a plantain farm belonging to one of their assistant headmasters into bare land.
In a video that was shared on the verified Facebook handle of Daily Graphic, the huge plot of land was seen without any standing plantain tree due to the action of the students.
The group was said to have undertaken the ploy in a school whose name has been withheld, over the fact that the Assistant Headmaster in charge of Administration was strict when he was supervising their examination.
After organizing themselves to destroy the farmland, the students also left a note for the assistant headmaster called Mr Aidoo, indicating that more harm will be done if he continues to be strict.
The video has generated a lot of conversation online regarding the level of discipline that is currently being practiced in schools and what should be done to put the students in shape.
