The KNUST Senior High School in Kumasi, also known as Technology Secondary School, is contemplating a reduction in admissions due to a severe infrastructure deficit, which is hindering teaching, learning, and student welfare. During the school's 65th Anniversary celebration, Headmaster Anthony Boasiako Duodu-Antwi revealed that the existing facilities are overwhelmed by the current population of 4,121 students and 245 staff members.
The school's overcrowded classrooms, inadequate dormitories, and underdeveloped laboratory facilities have forced management to house some students in abandoned structures, undermining effective teaching and learning. Duodu-Antwi warned that without urgent intervention, the school may have no choice but to limit admissions to maintain academic standards and student safety.
The school's management has appealed to the government to include KNUST Senior High School in the STAR-J project, a World Bank-supported initiative that aims to enhance access and quality of secondary education.
