On Saturday, October 22, 2022, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, President of the Republic, officially opened the Abomosu Model Senior High School, one of the nine (9) new model schools that the government is building.
The Abomoso Model Senior High School has all the necessary facilities, including athletic grounds, office buildings, twelve (12) labs, libraries, and dorms.
Additionally, the school’s V-Block contains 24 classrooms overall, compared to the 12 classrooms in the E-Blocks built by the previous administration.
In order to create these nine (9) new senior high schools, seven (7) new senior high schools will be built, and two (2) existing schools will be transformed into model schools, totaling nine (9) schools.
At Kwadaso, Dabaa, Awaso, Abomosu, Akrodie, Weija, and Kpasenkpe are the seven new schools.
The first-ever Creative Arts School, Kwadaso, in Kumasi, and a Senior High Technical School in Dabaa, named after former President J. A. Kufour, make up the remaining two schools out of the proposed nine (9) schools.
Recall that these schools’ building contracts were awarded in October 2019 and that the consultants turned over the sites to the contractors a month later.
Creative Arts School
The first Creative Arts School in Ghana, which is situated in Kwadaso, will provide students with the tools they need to flourish in both academics and the arts as they work toward their long-term goals.
The following has been included in the project’s design:
Two-storey administrative building, library block, auditorium or theater (1,300 designed capacity), four-storey, 16-unit creative arts block with ancillary facilities, four-storey, 20-unit classroom block with four dedicated laboratory rooms, three-storey, two-storey dormitory block, dining hall with kitchen, principal’s residence, two vice principals’ residences, two no. staff flats, sports area, maintenance shed, waste treatment/holding bay, access roads and paved walkways, and gate house.
Senior High & Technical School
This school, named after Ghana’s previous president J. A. Kufour, aims to prepare students for careers in the arts, sciences, and technical fields through hands-on learning opportunities and cutting-edge teaching techniques.
When it is finished, the School will work to educate students by providing theoretical and practical training in technical disciplines, creative creation, and processes for technical education, as well as to serve as the industry’s backbone under the One District One Factory (1D1F) program.
