Ahamansu Islamic Senior High School is a public co-educational high school located in Ahamansu, Ghana.[1] It was the first Islamic senior high school in the Volta Region and one of three second cycle institutions in the Kadjebi District which became part of the Oti Region in 2019.[2]
Ahamansu Islamic Senior High School started as private high school in 2006 by the Zongo community with funds from donor organisations. The Ahamansu Traditional Council offered large parcels of land to be used as campus for its establishment.[3]
Eric Osei was the first headmaster of the school from 2006 to 2010. In 2010 Godfried Nyarko replaced Osei as headmaster.[4] Nyarko advised for the necessary measures to be taken to ease the financial burdens of the school and to curtail the school's over-reliance on the National Service Scheme for teachers.
Nyarko initiated the requisite processes with the help of staff and National Service Personnel, which eventually culminated in the absorption of the school into the public system. In 2011, officers from the Ghana Education Service Headquarters inspected the schools facilities and recommended its absorption. The school became public in the year 2012. Charlotte Agboga took over from Nyarko and became the headmistress of the school.
Ahamansu Islamic Senior High School follows the West African Examinations Council and the secondary cycle of the Ghana Education Service curriculum. Students are required to take four core subjects and three or four specialised elective subjects under the various programmes throughout the duration of study.
Students choose three or four electives from the following:
At the end of their studies, students sit the West African Senior School Certificate Examination, which qualifies them for further studies in tertiary institutions.
