At the matriculation ceremony of the class of 2008 of the Kwame Nkrumah University of
Science and Technology (KNUST), the Vice-Chancellor of the University today released
the ranking of schools that produced the highest number of students in the University's first year

Our Headmaster, Mr. A. Owusu-Achiaw was there on the University's campus in Kumasi
to celebrate with the boys as Prempeh continues to dominate in every area in our 55th year.
The number of Prempeh boys in the first year class at the University of Ghana far
exceeds this number, and it has been said that one out of every three male students at the nation's premier university
is a product of Prempeh College.
It may be recalled that Prempeh produced the highest number of students at the
University of Ghana Medical School this year.
Prempeh, which has produced more doctors in Ghana than any other school, has a tradition of sending a large number of students to
the nation's medical schools. In the 1960s and 70s, especially, Prempeh used to send a record
15-20 students to each medical school, which is why a large percentage of the nation's physician are Prempeh products.
The outstanding list includes the current W.H.O. Assistant Director-General, Dr. Anarfi Asamoa-Baah, who has global responsibilities in the health delivery system
throughout the world.
prempeh.org will bring you photos relating to this announcement very soon.
