Kadjebi-Asato Senior High School (KASEC) has reinforced its reputation as one of Ghana’s high-performing second-cycle institutions after recording another impressive performance in the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Speaking at the school’s annual Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) meeting in Kadjebi, Headmaster Mr Emmanuel Kwabla Cole revealed that 871 out of 899 candidates who sat for the 2025 WASSCE obtained grades qualifying them for admission into tertiary institutions.
According to him, the outstanding performance has positioned KASEC among the top 100 senior high schools in Ghana out of more than 727 schools that participated in the examination.
Mr Cole attributed the achievement to the collective efforts of teachers, students, parents and the school’s management, describing KASEC as a centre of academic excellence committed to producing quality graduates.
Beyond academics, he said the school continues to make strides in practical education, having recently emerged as the Best School in Practical Agriculture. He announced that KASEC was expanding its agricultural programme to include fish farming and beekeeping, with selected teachers and students already trained to spearhead the initiative.
The Headmaster also highlighted ongoing infrastructure improvements, including the construction of two 12-unit classroom blocks and additional dormitories by the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund), projects expected to help eliminate the double-track system by 2027.
He added that the school had produced 200 mono desks, installed 20 marker boards and constructed a new toilet facility to improve teaching and learning conditions.
Mr Cole further disclosed that collaboration between the PTA and school management had resulted in the drilling of four mechanised boreholes to improve water supply, while a brass band had been established to strengthen co-curricular activities.
He said government had also supplied 750 tables and chairs, in addition to distributing more than 900 tablets to students to promote digital learning.
Despite the progress, the Headmaster identified inadequate teachers’ accommodation, shortages of desks and student beds, and insufficient non-teaching staff as key challenges facing the school.
He appealed to parents to continue investing in their children’s education and pledged that management would sustain efforts to improve academic standards and students’ welfare through strong collaboration with the PTA and other stakeholders.
