The Management of the Anfoega Senior High School has appealed to the government and stakeholders to provide the school with infrastructure to contain the high number of students.

The Headmaster, Albert Dodo indicated that the current situation of lack of infrastructure impedes academic activities, and administration of the school.

He was addressing the 60th Anniversary launch of the school, in Anfoega in the North Dayi District of the Volta Region.

He said that the school witnessed an increase in student population following the implementation of the Free SHS, sending the figure to about 1,500.

He added that the high numbers overburdened the school which was already suffering an infrastructure deficit.

Mr. Dodo lamented that due to the lack of an administration block, 8 classrooms were converted into administration units, while the school awaits the government to complete the administration block started in 2014, and a dining hall facility which had stalled.

He suggested that the construction of dormitories for both boys and girls and the completion of the abandoned projects would ease the infrastructure deficit and propel academic performance.

“We will be glad if the government can help us with at least 400-capacity dormitories for both boys and girls”, he appealed.

The President of the Anfoega Senior High School Old Students Association, Michael Klutse underscored the old students' commitment to augmenting infrastructure in the school by undertaking some projects.

He listed the construction of an Information Communication Technology and Home Science Lab, a sports complex, and beautification of the front gate.

“With these projects, we are looking at no less than 4 million Ghana Cedis, which we hope to raise from the old students, parents, and well-wishers”, he said.

He, therefore, extended an appeal to the old students, parents, and all stakeholders to help achieve this milestone initiative of the school.

A legal advisor, Dr. Peter Hayibor Esquire, who delivered the keynote address, called for an increase in contact period in Senior High Schools to avert producing only examination-oriented students.

He called for a "second look at the rationing of resources", suggesting that students should be made to spend the entire three years in school.
