Ghana’s Double-Track system for Senior High School (SHS) education, introduced in 2018 to address inadequate infrastructure following Free SHS expansion, has faced challenges according to Member of the Convention People's Party Kwame Jantuah. Speaking on GTV Breakfast Show's 'Headlines' segment, Mr. Jantuah argued that abolishing the system is not the solution.
The emergency response has caused concerns for teachers about holidays and health, he stated, but the solution should focus on improving its operation and expanding school infrastructure. The CPP leader emphasized the importance of the boarding school experience in fostering student maturity and independence, calling for increased private-sector involvement in infrastructure development.
He suggested that companies like MTN could support schools by building facilities, noting that the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) already illustrates private companies' role in education support.
