  "account": "George Kwame Aboagye, the Member of Parliament for Asene Manso Akroso, has expressed dissatisfaction with the government's handling of the placement of students into Senior High Schools (SHSs). Speaking on Adom TV Badwam, Mr. Aboagye pointed out that the previous administration introduced the double-track system to tackle infrastructure and capacity issues in schools. He maintained that the double-track system could only be dismantled once sufficient infrastructure was in place to accommodate all students.\n\nAccording to Mr. Aboagye, his political opponents, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), made the double-track system a campaign promise, stating that they would abolish it if elected. However, he criticized the current government for struggling to fulfill this promise. The MP argued that the government should have focused on expanding school infrastructure before attempting to end the double-track system. He gave an example from his own constituency, where they had built a dormitory for boys and added classrooms for girls as part of the infrastructure improvements.\n\nMr. Aboagye's remarks come as there are growing concerns over the number of parents and students still at the Resolution Centre, awaiting placement into SHSs. This ongoing predicament has raised questions about the government's ability to handle the situation effectively. The MP contended that the government could have prevented this issue if it had prioritized the development of school infrastructure prior to considering the abolition of the double-track system.",
