Probe Aburi Girls SHS student’s death — CRI.

Child Rights International (CRI) has called on the Ghana Education Service (GES), Police and National Security to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of a first-year student at the Aburi Girls Senior High School.

The findings of the investigation, it said, should be made public to ensure accountability. “This heartbreaking incident highlights the urgent need for reforms and regulatory regimes in senior high schools to protect students’ health and safety. CRI reiterates its commitment to advocating the rights and protection of children in Ghana,” a statement signed by the Executive Director of CRI, Bright Appiah, said.
It said the organisation was deeply saddened by the tragic passing of the student, which reportedly happened on Monday, February 5, 2024, following complaints of severe stomach pains.
