The Bolgatanga Technical Institute (BOTECH) has been closed indefinitely after parts of the school were set ablaze during a violent student riot.
The unrest, which reportedly began late last night and escalated into the early hours of this morning, resulted in the destruction of the school’s library and the senior housemaster’s office. The exact cause of the disturbances is yet to be established.
In a statement, the Bolgatanga District Secretary of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), Ajono Martin Adonis, confirmed the closure, noting that the decision was taken by authorities to safeguard the lives of staff and students, as well as to protect property.
Investigations are ongoing, and authorities say updates will be provided as more details emerge.
