Ashanti Region: The Powerhouse of Numbers
When it comes to sheer numbers, the Ashanti Region is in a league of its own, fielding a massive 25 schools! That’s 1 in every 6 schools in the competition. With powerhouse qualifiers like Kumasi Academy and Yaa Asantewaa Girls’ SHS joining the seeded giants like Prempeh College, they are sending a clear message: they are here to dominate.
Central Region: The Land of the Titans
While Ashanti brings the numbers, the Central Region brings the legacy. They hold the crown for the most seeded schools with an incredible 6 top-tier institutions, including Adisadel College, Wesley Girls’ High School, and Mfantsipim School. Their top schools are legendary, making them the region with the most proven champions.
The Single-Sex School Secret Weapon
Here’s the most mind-blowing stat: Single-sex schools make up only 30% of all participants, yet they hold a staggering 59% of the top-seeded spots! Boys-only schools alone account for 41% of the seeds. It’s clear their focused approach gives them a massive edge at the elite level. Will this trend continue in 2025?
The stage is set, the rivalries are brewing, and the numbers have spoken. From the newcomers to the private school challengers, every region is bringing its best.
