The Aflao Community Day Senior High Technical School which became topical some months back has been commissioned by President Akufo-Addo.

The President was assisted by the Paramount Chief of the Aflao Traditional Area, Togbe Adzonugaga Amenya Fiti V to commission the school.

The school has since April this year been admitting students after a headmaster was posted to the school, the Ketu South Municipal Director of Education had said.

The school which is located at Agblekpui, a suburb of Aflao has about 26 classrooms, staff offices, science and computer laboratories, washrooms among others. It has a capacity of 1200 students.

It is one of the E-Block projects inherited by the current NPP government from the then NDC government in 2016. The Ghc9 million was awarded in July 2015 and expected to be completed in October 2016.

However, that did not happen. The current government in the quest to expand access to secondary education, purposed to complete the project.

As at October 2021, the GES said it was 96 percent complete; yet it was still not in use.

According to him, should the school be opened his young subjects will benefit from the Free SHS Programme.
