MORE YOUNGSTERS HAVING UNSAFE SEX

The World Health Organisation says young people across the globe are having more unprotected sex and know less about effective contraception options.
It says the currently 11%–13% of teens in Ghana are having unsafe sex.
The WHO says the rate is low but worrying because there is high awareness of the various contraceptive methods among adolescence and youths and yet some do not use them.
Some people who spoke to Adom news believe bathing or showering after sex will prevent pregnancy.
Others believe that having intercourse during menstruation is an effective form of contraception.

SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION SHUT DOWN SCHOOL WITHOUT NOTICE

Teachers, Parents and guardians of Freeman School Complex in the Akyim Oda district in the Eastern Region have expressed their frustration and disappointment after the school administration shut down the school without prior notice.
The school was supposed to have reopened two weeks ago but it did not because the school authorities closed it down.
The teachers and parents tell Adom News Reporter Kwesi Azor it is a breach of contract for the school authorities to shut down the school without notifying them.

Some of the parents say they have purchased stationery worth GHC250 for their children for the new term which never came.

Reports gathered from the school indicate that the owner of the school, Margret Freeman has left the country to the United States.
Efforts to reach to school authorities for their side of the story proved futile.
