Shia Senior High Technical School
Residents of Shia, a border community near Ho in the Volta Region are yet to come to terms with a failed promise to put up an e-block community day school. They contend that while a feasibility study was concluded for work to start, the land allocated for construction is still lying idle. Members of the Shia community said through the relentless effort of the chief and the Shia Development Committee, a community senior high technical school was constructed, but this school however did not have the requisite infrastructure leading to a proposal to put up one of the e-block community schools in the area. According to them, feasibility study was carried out and in 2016 a land was made available and the Member of Parliament for Ho Central, Benjamin Kpodo and a team of experts led by the former deputy minister for education, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa visited the community to inspect the land with a site plan for work to begin. Seven years on, nothing has since taken place on the 40-acre land.
