**Gov’t Moves to End Double-Track System in Senior High Schools**

Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has inaugurated an 11-member committee to oversee the transition of Senior High Schools (SHS) and Senior High Technical Schools (SHTS) from the double-track system to a single-track model.

This initiative is part of broader educational reforms aimed at improving access, quality, and efficiency in secondary education.

The committee, chaired by Prof. Peter Grant of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), comprises representatives from key educational institutions, including GES, PRINCOF, WAEC, CHASS, and COHBS.

Their mandate includes reviewing the 2024/2025 academic calendar, aligning the WASSCE schedule with other West African countries, and developing a roadmap for the transition.

Haruna Iddrisu emphasized the government’s commitment to enhancing learning conditions and reducing overcrowding in schools.
