The academic future of final-year and second-year students of Obuasi Senior High and Technical School (SHTS) remains uncertain, as the school has stayed closed to continuing students for nearly three months following a student riot in August. The school was shut down on August 5 after the municipal assembly ordered its closure following a disturbance in which students reportedly attacked the headmaster, Zakaria Abdulai, amid allegations of sexual abuse involving female students.
