Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School (PRESEC-Legon) has achieved a significant milestone with 31 of its alumni graduating as medical doctors from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) at the close of the 2025/2026 academic year. This announcement was made by Voice of KNUST on Tuesday, September 29, 2026. The achievement underscores the school's strong academic pipeline and its reputation for producing high achievers.
This milestone follows PRESEC-Legon's record ninth National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) title, capping an extraordinary period for the school. The 31 graduates add to the growing number of PRESEC alumni making their mark in Ghana's medical profession. The school's consistent production of medical doctors highlights the quality of education and academic culture at PRESEC-Legon.
The graduation of 31 medical doctors from a single university underlines the depth of PRESEC-Legon's academic pipeline. For a school whose reputation has long rested on producing high achievers across various fields, this figure speaks to the consistency of its academic culture. This achievement is significant not only for the school but also for Ghana's medical workforce.
The newly qualified doctors are expected to advance to the next stage of their medical careers, contributing to Ghana's health sector as they take on professional roles. Their graduation adds to the broader community of PRESEC alumni who have chosen medicine as their vocation, a group that continues to grow with each passing year.
For the school itself, the achievement carries significance beyond the raw numbers. It reinforces PRESEC-Legon's standing as one of Ghana's foremost secondary institutions and reflects the ambitions that its students carry well beyond the school gates. With an NSMQ record and 31 newly minted doctors to celebrate in the same year, PRESEC-Legon and its alumni have every reason to mark 2026 as one of the school's most memorable years on record.
