Agona Swedru, Ghana – August 4, 2025 – Swedru Senior High School (SWESCO) has indefinitely suspended 25 final-year students following a violent brawl triggered by an alleged same-sex relationship proposal. According to 3News and X posts, a group of students attacked the proposer, escalating into a larger fight on campus. The school, founded in 1959 by Ghana’s first President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, will allow the suspended students to complete their WASSCE exams, but only with parental supervision. The decision has sparked public debate, with some criticizing the punishment as overly harsh, while others view it as a response to societal tensions over same-sex relationships in Ghana. School authorities are focused on maintaining discipline but have not released further details.
