The National Organizer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Sammi Awuku  says the government is doing everything possible to reduce the number of Senior High Schools (SHSs) running the double track system.

According to him, work is ongoing to complete the many uncompleted projects to accommodate more students.

Government rolled out the double-track system in the 2018/19 academic year as a measure to address congestion in SHSs following the implementation of the Free SHS programme.

The system run under the green and gold tracks and see students in school for three months within any given period. The intervention according to GES will help address the infrastructure challenges it is faced with the schools.

 Speaking on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo Morning Show, Mr. Awuku disclosed that the challenges in terms of infrastructures will soon be a thing of the past as the government is working assiduously to improve upon it.

“I am very hopeful that by the end of September about 75 schools would have fallen off the double track and  also possible that by next year there wouldn’t be any double track system,” he reveals.

He also explained that; “the Double track system started with only 100 out of 700 schools but the whole impression was as if 500 schools were enrolled into the system and as I speak  by September ending the number will be reduce to 15 schools based on the ongoing projects to expand most of the structures in these schools…,” he stressed.
