Kadjebi (O/R), June 29, GNA – Mr Emmanuel Kwabla Cole, Headmaster of Kadjebi-Asato Senior High School (KASEC), has described the school as a centre of academic excellence, citing its strong West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) performance over the past three years.
He said the school’s consistent outstanding performance reflected the commitment of management, teaching staff, students and parents to quality education.
Addressing the annual Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) meeting at the school’s Assembly Hall in Kadjebi, Mr Cole disclosed that in the 2025 WASSCE, 899 candidates sat for the examination, out of whom 871 obtained grades that qualified them for admission into tertiary institutions.
He said the achievement placed KASEC among the top 100 senior high schools in Ghana out of more than 727 schools that participated in the examination.
Mr Cole said the school had also distinguished itself in practical agriculture, emerging as the Best School in Practical Agriculture in a recent competition.
He said KASEC was expanding its agricultural projects to include fish farming and beekeeping, adding that selected teachers and students had undergone training to acquire the requisite knowledge and skills.
On infrastructure development, Mr Cole said the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) was constructing two 12-unit classroom blocks and additional dormitory facilities to help eliminate the double-track system by 2027.
He said the school had also manufactured 200 mono desks, 20 marker boards and constructed a toilet facility to improve teaching and learning.
Mr Cole said through the collaborative efforts of the school management and the PTA, four mechanised boreholes had been drilled to ensure a reliable water supply, while a brass band had also been establishedto promote co-curricular activities.
He added that the Government had supplied 750 tables and chairs to the school, while more than 900 tablets had been received and distributed to students to enhance digital learning.
Despite these achievements, Mr Cole identified inadequate teachers’ accommodation, insufficient desks and beds for students, and a shortage of non-teaching staff, including drivers, electricians, cooks, carpenters and security personnel, as major challenges confronting the school.
He appealed to parents to continue supporting their children’s education by providing their basic educational needs.
“Invest your resources in the education of your children because they are the future leaders of our nation,” he advised.
Mr Cole commended the PTA for its continuous support towards the development of the school and appealed for sustained collaboration to address the institution’s infrastructural and logistical needs.
Assistant Headmasters in charge of Academics, Administration and Welfare, as well as the Senior Housemaster, also addressed the meeting, highlighting measures being implemented to improve discipline, students’ welfare and academic performance.
