NDC flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has promised to cancel the double-track system introduced by the governing New Patriotic Party government in senior high schools. The Double-Track System of Education was implemented in 400 senior high schools nationwide for the 2018-2019 academic year by the ruling NPP. This policy was rolled out owing to a rise in enrolment, which exceeded the capacity of existing senior high school buildings. To accommodate more students and alleviate overcrowding in schools, the government, as part of the FSHS strategy, implemented the double-track system, which divides the complete student population and staff into two tracks; one track attends school while the other is on vacation, and vice versa. The double track system has however faced some challenges which include inadequate infrastructure, inadequate funding, an unstable school calendar, and increased teachers' workload.
