The Ashanti Regional Education Directorate has organized a one-day intensive re-orientation workshop for key academic staff across all 142 Senior High Schools (SHS) in the region as part of efforts to strengthen the implementation of Ghana’s ongoing secondary education reform.
The workshop, which took place from Monday, May 25 to Thursday, May 29, 2025, brought together Assistant Headmasters in charge of Academics, Heads of Department (HODs), and focal persons for the reform agenda. The engagement was carried out in four (4) cohorts across four zonal centers: Bekwai SDA SHS, Prempeh College, Ejisuman SHS, and Osei Kyeretwie SHS, with each group participating for one full day.
