A form two student of the Oyoko Methodist Senior High School in the Eastern Region has died,
the Ghana Education Service has announced.
The student has been identified as Jennifer Naa Doku Bolor.
She is said to have died on Thursday, July 30, after writing her last exam paper of the semester on that particular day.
According to the Ghana Education Service,
Jennifer reported sick to the school nurse after writing the exam and,
while she was being attended to, collapsed and was rushed to St. Joseph Hospital.
This is, at least, the third reported incident of death of a student in a Senior High School since schools were partially reopened for students.
The first incident was at the KNUST SHS where a final-year student died after school authorities allegedly refused to attend to him when he was complaining of stomach upset during the day.
Another incident was at the Methodist Girls Senior High School (MEGHIS) at Mamfe,
Akuapem in the Eastern Region, where Cindy Aku Sika Addo, a final-year student, died after falling sick.
Her death was reported on Friday, July 17, 2020.
