Bono region: Mr Thomas Asante Armstrong, the Headmaster of Dormaa Senior High School (SHS) in the Bono Region, has praised the government's decision to reverse the implementation of the double-track system in the nation's senior high schools. He emphasized that the shift back to a single-track system would alleviate pressure and significantly address the school's physical infrastructure challenges, including the need for adequate classrooms, accommodation facilities, and teachers' bungalows, which are currently strained under the double-track system.
According to Ghana News Agency, Mr Asante made these remarks during the annual congress of the Dormaa Senior High School Old Students Association (DOSA). He appealed for support to resume and complete the Essah and Nkrumah house projects at the school. Additionally, he expressed gratitude to the Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II for constructing a 24-seater toilet facility for the institution and called for further assistance to enhance the school's infrastructure.
Mr Asante also highlighted the school's academic achievements, noting that its performance was promising. He mentioned that the girls' soccer team had qualified for the national level, the basketball team had won six medals, and the school had qualified for the national science and mathematics quiz. Furthermore, the school emerged as champions in the national robotics competition in 2024.
The headmaster reported that the school currently has 3,776 students, comprising 1,950 females and 1,826 males. He thanked Mr John Jack, the Member of Parliament for Dormaa Central, for renovating a facility for the kitchen staff. The school has also received donations, including a washing machine, microscope, air conditioners and accessories, as well as 30 tables and 60 wooden benches from various stakeholders.
