KUMASI POLYTECHNIC
History
The Polytechnic, known earlier as Kumasi Technical Institute, was established in 1954, but started actual teaching
and learning in 1955, dealing mainly with craft courses. It became a
Polytechnic on 30 October 1963 and from then on concentrated on Technician and
a few Diploma Programmes. Additionally, a few professional courses were
offered. Following the enactment of the Polytechnic Law 1992, PNDC Law 321,
Kumasi Polytechnic ceased to exist in its previous form and became a tertiary institution.
