Gov’t ends double-track system for SHS 1, SHS3 students

President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has announced an end to the double-track education system for first and third-year Senior High School students.

The president attributed the development to improved infrastructure across the country.

“I must stress that SHS 3 students in all schools, like SHS 1 students, will no longer run the double-track system. The expansion of infrastructure at the various senior high schools, over the last three years, has brought us to this favourable situation,” he stated.
