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.

President Akufo-Addo made this known in his 21st update on the country’s management of the coronavirus (Covid 19) pandemic in Accra on Sunday, January 3, 2020.

He however said the double-track system will still be applicable to SHS 2 students in schools that are employing it.

The double-track system was introduced by the government in order to enable various senior high schools to take in more students and ensure that all students have access to senior high school education.
