Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu sets new target to end SHS double-track system in 2029

The announcement comes weeks after President Mahama said the double-track system would end by 2027 through the upgrading of 50 senior high schools, made up of 30 Category C schools to be upgraded to Category B and 20 Category B schools to Category A.
In May this year, President John Dramani Mahama said the government had planned to end the double-track system in senior high schools (SHSs) by 2027.
The minister said the STAR-J programme would also provide new community day senior high schools at Nima and Kasoa, as well as a special needs education facility in the Volta Region.
