Mr. E. K. Yeboah
Assistant Headmaster, Administration.

MR. EMMANUEL K. YEBOAH started as a young student at Abuakwa State College, Kibi, where he pursued his secondary education between the years of 1969-1974.

From 1975-1980, he pursued a preliminary science program leading to a bachelor degree in chemistry at the University of Cape Coast.

In the year 1990 Mr. E. K. Yeboah pursued his post graduate diploma education in Economics and Management at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.

Mr. E. K. Yeboah has taught in schools such as St. Peters Secondary School– Kumasi, Osei Kyeretwie Secondary School and Osei Tutu Secondary School. He came to Prempeh College as a chemistry teacher in the year 2000.

When asked why he came to Prempeh college, he said, “an opportunity came when one of the chemistry masters left. The then assistant headmaster, Mr. S. K. Anokye, who was himself a chemistry master, contacted me to take up the vacancy.”

At Prempeh College he rose through the ranks first as the head of the science department and then has been appointed the substantive assistant headmaster since November 2003.

In his capacity as the head of science department, some successes were chalked. “Prempeh was beaten by Apam secondary school in the brilliant science and math’s quiz in 2001. I decided to form the science club to start preparing science students at all levels to be adequately prepared for the quiz. Four students were chosen from each class to join the club. Masters were organized to give them lessons in areas where they had problems. They were exposed to the past quiz contests by watching the videos. All these were contributing factors towards our coming 3rd in this year’s science and math’s quiz. We have given the whole nation a warning sign. They should expect more of Prempeh in the coming years.”

In his answer to how he felt when he was appointed Assistant Headmaster, he said his appointment came as a result of hard work: “I came to meet so many experienced tutors but I was appointed. Though it is prestigious, it is rather a hard responsibility now that the student population stands 2400.”

‘Indiscipline on the part of the students has been a problem, he said. This is because of the large number of students we handle. We are trying to slash down the entire student population to 1500 in the next two years. With this number we are not going to accept any day student. We are optimistic that our facilities can then handle this number adequately.”

Mr. E. K Yeboah is married with two children. His first son is a 3rd year architecture student at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST-Kumasi). The last boy is in JSS 1.

The school acknowledges your contribution to its development. You have been supportive especially with the speech and prize giving days. It is unfortunate that only a few people are seem to be contributing. We want to see more of the younger generation of Amanfoo.
