He said a reversal to the single-track system would lessen pressure and greatly address the school’s physical infrastructure challenges like adequate classrooms, accommodation facilities and teachers’ bungalows, due to the present double-track system.
Mr Asante was speaking at the annual congress of the Dormaa Senior High School Old Students Association (DOSA) and appealed for support for construction works to resume and complete the Essah and Nkrumah house projects of the school.
He commended the Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II for constructing a 24-seater toilet facility for the school and appealed for more of such assistance, to boost the infrastructure of the institution.
Mr Asante described the school academic performance as encouraging, saying it was also doing well in sports.
He said: “The girls’ soccer team qualified for the national level, while the school’s basketball team won six medals. The school also qualified for the national science and mathematics quiz and emerged champions in the national robotics competition in 2024”.
Mr Asante indicated that presently the school had 3,776 students comprising 1,950 females and 1,826 males, and commended Mr John Jack, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Dormaa Central for renovating a place of convenience for the kitchen staff.
He said the school had also received donations including a washing machine, microscope, air conditioners and accessories, as well as 30 tables and 60 wooden benches from stakeholders.
