Adjena Senior High Technical School region was established by the Ghana Education service in 1979 as an experimental junior secondary school on the then Adjena united middle school premises.
The school was upgraded in September, 1984 into a fully fledged secondary technical school.
However, since its establishment, the school has not received any major infrastructural facelift.
The introduction of Free Senior High School Policy which has led to exponential increase in students population has worsened the plight of the school.
The school is faced with serious congestion in classrooms as students learn under pavilions. Dormitory accommodation for students also inadequate amid shortage of student beds.
The school is faced with inadequate desks which forces students to sit in threes and fours per dual desk.
The school has no computer Laboratory. There is only one functioning desktop computer for ICT practicals for the about 2000 students.
Students attend toilet on deplorable open pit laterin posing risk to their health and lives.
The absent of fence wall around the school makes it vulnerable for intrusion which threatens security of students at night.
Also, some recalcitrant students take advantage to sneak out to engage in various misconducts.
Traditional rulers of Adjena -Tafoman traditional area are not happy about government neglect of the school therefore appealed to Ministry of Education to come to the aide of the school to address the numerous challenges facing it to improve on quality education.
According to the Member of Parliament for Asuogyaman Thomas Ampem Nyarko, apart from facilities provided under Atta Mills/John Mahama led NDC government in the school, not a single project has been added under seven years of Akufo Addo led NPP government despite the introduction of Free Senior High School which has increased students population.
He additional classrooms, one -storey boys dormitory block ,and other facilities were built when he was District Chief Executive for Asuogyaman.
