10-Year Infrastructure Deficit Cripples Breman Asikuma Technical Institute, Headmistress Appeals to Gov’t

Breman Asikuma Technical Institute in the Asikuma Odoben Brakwa District is battling a severe infrastructure deficit that has persisted for the past decade, hampering academic work and student welfare.

The crisis was laid bare during the launch of the school’s 25th anniversary celebration, where Headmistress Madam Stella Worclachie outlined urgent challenges threatening the institution’s progress.

“Population Now Exceeds Infrastructure”

Speaking at the event, Madam Worclachie listed classrooms, dormitory, assembly hall, and dining hall among the school’s most pressing needs.

“For the past ten years, infrastructure deficits have really affected the progress of the school,” she said. “The current student population is more than the infrastructure we have now.”

She appealed directly to the NDC government led by H.E. John Dramani Mahama, Member of Parliament Hon. Alhaji Alhassan Kobina Ghansah, and District Chief Executive Hon. Olivia Bentil to intervene.

Traditional Leader Urges Discipline

Krontihene of the Breman Traditional Area, Nana Okofo Afful Nyankoe II, who graced the launch, charged students to uphold discipline despite the challenges.

“There is a lot of indiscipline going on in some schools, but students of Breman Asikuma Technical Institute should cultivate the act of discipline because it will take them far,” he advised.

25 Years of Technical Education

The anniversary launch marks 25 years of the institute’s contribution to technical and vocational training in the Central Region. However, stakeholders fear the lack of basic facilities could erode gains made over the years.

Madam Worclachie is hopeful the anniversary will draw attention and support from government, old students, and philanthropists to expand infrastructure to match enrollment.
