According to report by Thebbcghana on Thursday 8, October 2026, a student of Presbyterian Senior High School (SHS), Bompata, in the Ashanti Region, Edward Anato, has reportedly died in a road accident on the Kumasi-Accra Highway.

Edward is said to have died at the scene of the accident, leaving his family, schoolmates, teachers and friends devastated by the sudden loss.

The young student was also a member of the Presbyterian SHS, Bompata team that participated in the 2026 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ). The team achieved a significant milestone by reaching the quarter-finals of the prestigious academic competition for the first time in the school’s history.

His participation in the competition earned him recognition within the NSMQ community, with the organisers describing him as a brilliant and promising student who distinguished himself during the contest.

News of his untimely death has since triggered an outpouring of grief among members of the Presbyterian SHS Bompata community and others who followed the school’s impressive NSMQ campaign.

For many of his colleagues, Edward’s death represents not only the loss of a student but also the loss of a young person with great potential and a promising future.

The tragedy has also renewed concerns about the dangers associated with road travel, particularly along major highways such as the Kumasi, Accra Highway, where accidents continue to claim lives.

As the school community comes to terms with the heartbreaking incident, tributes are expected to continue pouring in for the deceased student and his family.

May Edward Anato rest in perfect peace, and may God grant his family, friends, teachers and colleagues the strength to cope with this painful loss.
