</div>The Commission received a complaint from
Peter Doudu and 12 others on 30th June 2000, alleging that they had been
suspended indefinitely from Agona Nsaba Senior Secondary School. The
complainants pleaded for the Commission's intervention in order that they as
final year students could study for their forthcoming exams.<o:p></o:p>The
said complaint was referred to the Agona District Office for investigation.<o:p></o:p>The
District Director met Messrs. Fred Andrews and William Foh, the authorities of
the school.<o:p></o:p>The school authorities agreed after the
discussions to recall the suspended students on 10th September 2000, the third
term of the school.<o:p></o:p>It
was further agreed that the students would have to sign a bond of good
behaviour in the presence of their parents/guardians. The District Director of
the Commission was also to be present.<o:p></o:p>The
Commission's Head Office contacted the complainants, advised them on the merit
of good behaviour and asked them to report to the school on 27th July 2000 for
the bond signing ceremony.<o:p></o:p>The Commission therefore considers this
case as settled and ceases investigations in accordance with Section 13(1(b)
which states as follows:<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt;

(1) "Where in the course of the investigation of any complaint it appears
to the Commission – <o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt;

That having regard to all the circumstances of the case, any further
investigation is unnecessary, it may refuse to investigate the matter
further."<o:p></o:p>
