Ernestina Quainoo, a 53-year-old Ghanaian teacher working in the UK, has been banned from teaching for life. She was found to have smuggled a 14-year-old African child into Britain in 2008, effectively to be used as a “slave”. Quainoo lied about her child trafficking conviction when she obtained a teaching job in 2019. Her criminal past was discovered in December 2022 when a colleague saw a newspaper report about her history. Quainoo and her husband Samuel brought the child to the UK in 2008, promising education and a job. Instead, they reportedly forced the girl to cook, clean, and babysit their children for 18 months.
