METHODIST SENIOR HIGH /TECHNICAL SCHOOL- BIADAN, BEREKUM

WISDOM BEFORE RICHES.

OUR HISTORY

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

 

WELCOME TO MESTECH

The Methodist Senior High/ Technical School was founded by the Berekum Circuit of the Methodist Church on 16th February, 1998. This was done in response to the call by the President of the Conference in his inaugural address at the 36th Annual Conference at Cape Coast in August, 1997, that each district must endeavour to establish at least two Senior Secondary Schools in their locality.

However, prior to this, a school had been set up in 1990 as a project of the National Service Scheme, with Biadan chosen as the project Centre. Afterwards, the school took full force in 1993 at the Biadan Community Centre. It was named the Biadan Vocational Training Centre( BVTC),with a student population of 40 and two permanent staff, assisted by National Service personnel. The objective of the school was to train the youth in vocations like Brick Laying, Concreting, Woodwork and Electrical Installation. Later on, the school was moved to its present location as an European Union project, upon the request of the Biadan Community to get a school. In September 1997, the Berekum Circuit through a fortuitous set of circumstances, acquired from the Berekum District Assembly ten classrooms, two offices, two stores, a staff bungalow, a ten holes KVIP toilet built by the European Union, and a parcel of land to house the school.
However, at the initial stages, the school was beset with two major challenges. The first was a lack of qualified and permanent staff since the annual entrance and subsequent exit of National Service personnel truncated the flow of academic work, forcing students to repeat courses every year. Also, the school encountered financial difficulties since the community was not willing to pay fees to enhance the running of the school. These setbacks tempted the community to hand over the school to the Catholic Church, Berekum, to run. However news of the decision to relinquish the school to the Catholic Church was greeted with rejection when it reached the ears of the Berekum Circuit of the Methodist Church. The church then expressed keen interest in managing the school herself, citing the need for the church to get a secondary school in her locality. Arrangements were subsequently completed in February 1998 for the smooth take-over of the school by the Methodist Church. Thereafter, an official inauguration was made on Sunday 23rd August the same year( 1998) by the Very Reverend Charles Woode. After the school was handed over to the Methodist Church, Reverend Samuel Amo- Ayensu then took over as Headmaster, with Phillip Quacoe Jnr acting as Assistant Headmaster.
The school started with an initial enrolment of thirty-five students and thirteen permanent staff. To serve as a catalyst, a 33-seater Benz bus was presented to the school by the Berekum Freeman Methodist Church, to ease the movement of both staff members and students. Touched by the plight of the struggling infantile school, one brother Peter Adjei Yeboah(aka my brother), an Eleventh Circuit Steward, donated a set of furniture to the Circuit to be presented to the school. Later, the then Biadan chief, Nana Gyamfi Kumanini 1, released a sixty- six acre farm land to the school as a generous gesture of patriotism. Eventually, the government took over the school in January, 2001. Since its establishment, the school has been managed by seven heads till now: Rev. Samuel Amo-Ayensu Mr. Benjamin Kwao Donkor ( now a Reverend Minister) Mr. Kwabena Amponsah Mr. E. K Nsiah Mr. Jacob Afful Mr. Enoch Mensah Febiri Mrs. Monica Oforiwaa Asiedu( present Headmistress)
