The Ghana Education Service (GES) announced that continuing students at Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS) will resume classes next week, according to a press release dated October 22, 2026. The school had been temporarily closed since August 5 due to disturbances on campus. GES Head of Public Relations, Daniel Fenyi, stated that preparations for the return of students are well underway.
First-year students had already returned on September 18, but no specific date was given for the resumption of continuing students. The closure was linked to sexual abuse allegations against the school’s headmaster, Zakaria Abdulai, who has since been suspended. The police have handed the case over to the Office of the Attorney-General for further investigation.
The planned reopening comes after more than two months away from school. The GES indicated that further updates would be provided as needed.
