Mahama commissions Paga SHS E-Block, promises facilities to end double-track by 2027

He said through the Secondary Education Transformation for Access, Relevance, and Results for Jobs (STARR-J) project, the Government would make available GH¢3 billion for the expansion of secondary education to end the congestion in the nation's secondary schools and end the double-track system." Touching on the issue of abandoned projects, President Mahama said they started the E-Block concept during his first term to expand access to secondary education because they realised that the little over 500 secondary schools available at the time were not enough to contain the number of children expected under the Free SHS programme.

This government has come, and by 2027, no secondary school in Ghana will be operating the double-track system.
