In a statement released on Wednesday, the GES expressed its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased student, who was fatally stabbed on Monday.
The GES Director-General, Eric Nkansah, led a team to visit the school and the bereaved family to offer their sympathies.
The statement assured the public that calm has been restored on campus, and measures are in place to ensure the well-being and safety of students and staff.
