ASUNANSI TECHNICAL INSTITUTE 

Asuansi Technical Institute is the first Technical Institute established in Ghana and West Africa at large.

It is located in Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese District in the Central Region.

The institute was established by Late Nana G.H. Amo the then chief of Asuansi on 12th August, 1917 and named Asuansi Rural School to equip the youth with numeracy and literacy skills up to standard 4 (now JHS).
