  "account": "Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has rejected the notion that he requires guidance from his predecessor, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, to tackle the challenges facing Ghana's education sector. The Tamale South MP questioned the value of advice from Adutwum, arguing that he inherited a \"despondent\" educational system when the NPP administration left office. In a recent interview, Adutwum had stated that Iddrisu could approach him for any assistance required in managing the education system. However, Iddrisu challenged the relevance of such advice, stating that it originated from a system inherited from the previous administration, left in a state of crisis. The Education Minister highlighted issues such as infrastructure problems and food shortages under the previous administration's Free Senior High School (SHS) program, which allegedly led to school closures. He claimed that these issues have been resolved under his administration, thanks to the uncapping of the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) and the allocation of funding towards feeding students. Iddrisu also dismissed the idea of seeking advice from Adutwum on ending the double-track system in senior high schools, pointing out that Adutwum had invented the system and was aware of its consequences on educational quality.",
