Gov’t Moves to Scrap Double‑Track: Haruna Iddrisu to Detail Massive GH₵3bn SHS Build‑Out

Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu is set to provide full details of a GH₵3 billion infrastructure programme aimed at permanently abolishing the double‑track system in Senior High Schools when he appears at the Government Accountability Series on Monday, July 19.

The disclosure was made by Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, who announced in a Facebook post that Mr Iddrisu will deliver a comprehensive mid‑year assessment of Ghana’s education sector during the engagement.

According to Mr Kwakye Ofosu, the Cabinet‑approved infrastructure package will be a central feature of the presentation as government moves to close long‑standing infrastructure gaps that have kept some SHSs on the double‑track calendar.

“Tomorrow, Minister of Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, will appear at the Government Accountability Series for a Mid-Year assessment of Education in Ghana,” he wrote.

“Among others, he will break down a GH₵3 billion infrastructure programme approved by Cabinet to abolish the undesirable Double Track system in our Senior High Schools. Don’t miss it,” he added.

The Government Accountability Series is designed to update the public on key government programmes, policies and interventions while enhancing transparency and engagement across sectors.

Today’s education sector review is expected to spotlight ongoing reforms, infrastructure expansion and measures aimed at improving teaching and learning outcomes nationwide.
