The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced a major decision to revert nearly 100 Senior High Schools across the country to a single-track system, starting in the 2025/2026 academic year, this October.
According to a report by Ahotor FM, dated September 1, this shift is part of a larger plan involving 20 interventions being rolled out by the government in second-cycle schools nationwide.
In a Facebook post on September 1, 2025, GES stated, "Specifically, 99 double-track Senior High Schools will transition back to the single-track system for the 2025/2026 academic year beginning in October, among other key interventions in Education." The change addresses issues associated with the double-track system, which was initially introduced to manage higher enrollment under the Free Senior High School (FSHS) policy.
This system divided students into two groups attending school in shorter rotations to tackle infrastructure and overcrowding problems.
