Savannah Regional Police Command has deployed police officers to the Ndewura Jakpa Senior Technical High School in the West Gonja Municipal Assembly following a demonstration by students of the school.
The students demonstrated on Wednesday evening against school authorities because of the strict social distancing and invigilation during the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
The demonstration saw the students attacking and causing damage to the new six-unit school block which was built to help end the double-track system for the school.
The students cut the power in the school and broke streetlights on campus and this has led to security being tight at the school to prevent future occurrence or whatsoever.
