KMA To Build 20-Seater Toilet For KSHTS

The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) is embarking on the construction of a 20-seater toilet facility for the Kumasi Senior High Technical School (KSHTS) in response to the school's escalating sanitation issues. KMA Mayor Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi made this announcement during the school's 35th anniversary celebration on August 8, 2026.

The Mayor pledged to procure the facility and confirmed that the procurement process had already commenced. Boadi also promised to provide chairs for teaching staff to enhance their working conditions and improve the overall teaching and learning environment at the school.

The Headmaster of KSHTS, Yaw Twimasi, highlighted the school's rapid growth, stating that it started with only 250 students in 1991 and now has 4,754 students, including 1,885 girls and 2,868 boys. Twimasi disclosed that the school now employs 262 teaching staff and 63 non-teaching staff. He emphasized that the school's growing student population has strained its existing infrastructure, with inadequate washroom and sanitation facilities, a shortage of furniture, and incomplete infrastructure projects being among the major challenges.

Twimasi appealed to the government, through the Ghana Education Service (GES), to aid the school in completing several stalled projects, such as the Assembly Hall, Dining Hall, and Boys' Dormitory. He also called upon corporate organizations, philanthropists, parents, old students, and other well-wishers to support the school's infrastructure development efforts. The 35th anniversary celebration was designed not only to commemorate the school's achievements but also to raise funds for addressing its infrastructure needs.

Boadi urged the old students' community to contribute towards the completion of outstanding projects, aiming to create a conducive environment for effective teaching and learning and to accommodate the growing demand for technical and vocational education. He encouraged students to make the most of the opportunities offered by the school and remain committed to their education.

Boadi assured the school that the KMA would continue to support efforts aimed at improving sanitation, teaching and learning facilities, expressing optimism that these interventions would enhance the school's conditions.
