Government targets end to double-track system by 2027 with 16 new SHSs

President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans to construct 16 new senior high schools and expand existing facilities as part of efforts to reduce congestion in schools and phase out the double-track system by the end of 2027. The government has secured a $300 million World Bank facility to support this initiative, which will enable all students to attend classes simultaneously and create additional space in existing institutions.

Mahama expressed optimism that the projects would be completed by the end of 2027, bringing an end to the double-track system and allowing students to follow a common academic calendar, potentially improving academic performance.
