Committee to reverse SHS/SHSTS double-track to single-track system inaugurated

Minister of Education Haruna Iddrisu has officially inaugurated a high-powered committee tasked with overseeing the transition from the double-track system to a single-track system in Senior High Schools (SHS) and Senior High Technical Schools (SHSTS).

This move is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to improve the education system and ensure a more streamlined academic schedule for students.

The 11-member committee is expected to manage the logistics and implementation of the new single-track system, addressing various challenges that may arise during the process.

The committee will also provide recommendations for a smooth and effective transition, ensuring that all stakeholders are adequately prepared for the changes.

The committee will be chaired by Prof. Peter Grant, a distinguished academic from the University of Cape Coast (UCC). Prof. Grant’s leadership is seen as crucial in guiding the committee through the necessary steps to reverse the double-track system and establish a more efficient educational model for the country’s Senior High Schools and Technical Schools.
