99 Double-Track SHSs To Revert To Single Track-GES

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced the reverting of almost 100 Senior High Schools to single track system.

This will take effect in 2025/2026 Academic Year beginning in October.

According to the GES, this is one of the 20 interventions the government is implementing in the second cycle institutions across the country.

In a Facebook post, the service said, “99 Double-Track SHSs to Reset Back to Single Track in 2025/2026 Academic Year Beginning October; Among Other Key Interventions in Education.”

The system faced challenges like reduced contact hours, infrastructure issues, and inadequate resources.

Below are other interventions:
