“Henceforth, any principal or primary school head teacher who indulges in such an act will be severely dealt with,” she said.
The commissioner directed the Chairman of thePost Primary Schools Services Commission (PPSSC) and the State Universal Basic Education Board (ASUBEB) to disseminate the information to all principals and head teachers in the State.
