Enroll more females into Senior High Schools
Prof Aziato
The Vice Chancellor of the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS), Professor Lydia Aziato has advocated for the enrollment of females into Senior High Schools (SHSs).
That, she said would ensure equity in male-female enrolment in pre-tertiary schools.
Prof Aziato said this last week at the 60th anniversary of Awudome Senior High School (AWUSCO) at Tsito in Volta Region.
The anniversary was held on the theme “60 years of quality education- benefits and relevance in contemporary times.”
She said educating females was not only about imparting knowledge, but it is about empowerment, resilience and transformation that transcends generations.
“Although AWUSCO is in the Volta Region, management should always endeavour to be equitable in admissions to provide opportunities for all qualified applicants from across the country,” she said.
She said the pre-tertiary institutions should create opportunities for individuals with disability, adding that it means ensuring disability friendly facilities.
She said those from less endowed schools and students with some learning disabilities should have special interventions to help them achieve the desired outcomes
The Vice Chancellor of UHAS said pre-tertiary education provides the foundations for success bonding while relationships were established for life and alumni groups at this level are stronger.
Prof Aziato stated that in schools where alumni mentorship sessions are incorporated, students identify mentors that help them navigate their life journeys.

The Ashanti South Regional Police Intelligence Directorate has arrested two suspects in connection with a robbery attack on an Indian national in Obuasi and a separately planned robbery operation targeting a distribution company in the same area.
On April 16, 2026, Police received credible intelligence that a group of armed men were planning an attack in Obuasi. A police team moved swiftly into the area and arrested suspect Iddrisu Fuseini, also known as “Iddi”, at his hideout in Bedieso, Obuasi.
During interrogation, he confessed to being part of a six-member gang that attacked an Indian national at his residence at New Baakoyeden, Obuasi, on April 12 2026, robbing him of GH₵150,000.00.
He disclosed that the attack was orchestrated following a tip-off from suspect Ibrahim, an employee of the victim, who informed the gang that the victim kept large sums of money.
Further investigations led to the arrest of a second suspect, Shaibu Mohammed, also known as “SM” or “Cicinati”, on 20th April 2026 at his hideout in Gausu, Obuasi. During interrogation, he admitted to participating in the planning of the robbery and confirmed that the gang had further planned to rob a distribution company near Mawuli Hotel in Obuasi.
Investigations have further revealed that both suspects are currently standing trial at the Obuasi Circuit Court in connection with a separate robbery of GH₵600,000.00.
A manhunt is ongoing to arrest the remaining accomplices, identified as Khalifa, Edward, Prof, Waddle, Ebbe, and Ibrahim, and to recover a pump action gun and a locally manufactured pistol believed to be in their possession.
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, together with members of the Police Management Board (POMAB), on April 17, 2026, decorated nineteen (19) senior officers who have been promoted to their next ranks based on the recommendations of the Police Council and approval of the President, John Dramani Mahama.
The ceremony, held at the National Police Headquarters in Accra, forms part of efforts to recognise merit, dedication, and long-standing service within the Ghana Police Service, while strengthening leadership across key operational and administrative levels.
