Sawla Senior High School
Sawla Senior High School is a co-educational second cycle boarding school located at Sawla, in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba district of the Savannah Region of Ghana.[1][2][3][4]
In 2019, a teacher at the school raped a student. In February 2020, his employment was terminated after he admitted to sexual misconduct with multiple female students. He was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2022.[5] In 2022, the school had the lowest performance across the Savannah Region in the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations.[6][7] The same year, a fire burnt a hostel which accommodated students at the school, burning personal belongings.[8] After a former headmistress requested aid online, the school received relief items and monetary donations from people in Germany.[9]
