On Saturday, October 2, 2021, President Akufo-Addo visited the J.A Kufuor Senior High Technical School and the Creative Arts Senior High School, whose construction commenced in December, 2019.

Named after the 2nd President of the 4th Republic, His Excellency John Agyekum Kufuor, the Senior High Technical School, located in Dabaa in the Atwima Nwabiagya North, will serve as a model Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) school.

The school will place emphasis on technical education, which would prepare students for jobs involving applied sciences and modern technology.
