The slow pace of infrastructural development to facilitate the relocation of KNUST Senior High School is hampering smooth academic work.Students and teachers have to shuttle between the old and new sites for their daily engagement.Headmistress, Joyce Owusu Ansah, says the completion of on-going projects at the new campus will also increase the school’s capacity to admit more students.KNUST Senior High School was established as UST Secondary-Technical School in 1961 by the first Vice-Chancellor of the university, Dr. R.P. Baffour.It was later re-named Technology Secondary School before assuming its present name.Located within KNUST College of Art and Commercial Areas, the school has operated over the years in what is generally seen as makeshift structures.The University allocated a portion of its land for development to enable the school move into a more permanent environment. It has been the wish of successive management and other stakeholders to see a complete transition from the old to the new site before the school hit 50 years.However, as the occasion was marked at the week-end that dream remained only partly realized, with classroom and other structures completed halfway.Headmistress, Joyce Owusu-Ansah is full of praise the GETFund for its immense support in the construction of facilities at the new campus, but says there is more to be done.According to her, the school needs a bus to shuttle students and pupils between the two campuses. The school also needs teachers’ bungalows at the new site considering its distance from the main Kumasi township.She says the new campus also lacks an infirmary, students dining hall, kitchen and assembly hall; a situation which is hampering the smooth operation of the school.KNUST Senior High School has received commendation for the general comportment of its students who have no record of any acts of vandalism.Mrs. Owusu-Ansah believes inclusion of students in decision- making makes all the difference.Story by: Kwabena Owusu-Ampratwum/Luv fm/Ghana
