Obuasi SHTS to reopen to continuing students next week – GES
The Ghana Education Service (GES) says continuing students of Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS) are expected to return to school next week, following a temporary closure that began in August.
The school was temporarily closed to continuing students on August 5 following disturbances on campus.
“Management assures that preparations are far advanced for continuing students to return to school sometime next week,” the statement said.
The GES noted that first-year students had reported to the school on September 18, 2026, and were already attending classes.
The closure followed campus disturbances reportedly linked to tensions surrounding sexual abuse allegations against the school’s headmaster, Zakaria Abdulai.
The GES has suspended the headmaster, while the police have forwarded the case docket to the Office of the Attorney-General for study and advice.
The allegations have involved as many as 19 students, according to previous reports. They remain subject to investigation and the legal process.
The GES said further updates would be communicated when necessary.
