The community of Ejura Donmankuma and the wider educational fraternity have paid glowing tribute to Nana Akumfi Ameyaw Kwaagya II, whose enduring contributions to the development of Kwarteng Ankomah Senior High School continue to resonate. With a distinguished career spanning 34 years in the Ghana Education Service (GES), Nana Ameyaw is being celebrated for his visionary leadership, dedication, and transformational impact on secondary education in the Bono East region.
Nana Akumfi Ameyaw Kyeremeh, who rose through the ranks of the GES to become a Deputy D irector before his retirement, is widely acknowledged for his pivotal role in shaping Kwarteng Ankomah SHS into a model institution. His tenure saw remarkable improvements in academic performance, infrastructure, discipline, and community involvement.
Colleagues, students, and local leaders describe his time at the school as a turning point. Under his guidance, Kwarteng Ankomah SHS expanded its enrollment, improved its examination results, and attracted dedicated teaching staff. Classroom blocks were established during his tenure, reflecting his commitment to holistic academic growth.
Nana was accompanied by his beautiful wife, Kissiwaa Vida Ameyaw, and their children, as well as the entire family, who came in large numbers to grace the colourful occasion.
Nana Ameyaw was more than just an administrator; he was a mentor, a reformer, and a father figure to both staff and students. The headmaster of the school says his leadership created a culture of excellence and discipline that continues to inspire.
On January 15, 2018, Nana Akumfi Ameyaw was enstooled as the Chief of Ejura Donmankuma, further solidifying his influence within the community. In his capacity as a traditional leader, he has consistently championed education, youth empowerment, and development. Community members commend his efforts in supporting needy students, lobbying for school resources, and promoting girl-child education.
As a chief and educationist, Nana Ameyaw has uniquely blended cultural stewardship with academic advocacy, using his platform to bridge the gap between tradition and modern education. He was the overall best mathematics teacher at the second-cycle institution in the Techiman Municipality of the Bono East region in 2012.
Former students of Kwarteng Ankomah SHS continue to speak of his legacy with admiration. Alumni groups have initiated plans to build a block in his name in recognition of his service.
The old students say Nana built the foundation for many of them who are now medical doctors, lawyers, lecturers, and more. His influence went beyond the classroom, the student lamented.
As Ejura Donmankuma prepares to mark Akwasi Dei this week, tributes continue to pour in for Nana Akumfi Ameyaw, a man whose impact on education and traditional leadership is both profound and enduring.
