The Acting Headmaster for Donkro Nkwanta Senior High School, Mr. Michael Yaw Mensah, has confirmed that the Donkro Nkwanta SHS is among eleven (11) Senior High Schools which have been absorbed into the Free SHS policy by the NPP government.
Recounting the genesis of the struggle from 2013, the Headmaster stated that although the former Members of Parliament for Nkoranza South Constituency, Hon. Charles Konadu Yiadom and the current Member of Parliament, Hon. Emmanuel Kwadwo Agyekum, did their best *when the issue was brought to their attention*, their efforts did not yield the expected outcome.
Mr. Yaw Mensah stated that the process leading to the absorption of the school commenced when Mr. Ernest Adjei Yiadom introduced him to Mrs. Harriet Kyeremanteng Oppong in 2021.
He indicated that, *immediately upon being briefed about the school,* Madam Harriet *contacted* the Education Minister, Hon. Yaw Adutwum and requested for some documents from Nananom and promised that the Ministry, under his stewardship, will *make every effort to ensure that the school is absorbed into the policy within the shortest possible time
The Headmaster stated that, after speaking to the Education Minister through Madam Harriet, he forwarded the details required to Mrs.Oppong and stressed that, “the rest of the story is the joy we have today”.
In a separate interview, the Chief of Donkro Nkwanta, Nana Obrempong Owusu Achiaw, expressed *gratitude* to Hon. Dr Adutwum and Mrs. Harriet K. Oppong and the NPP government for *making good on their promises.*
