Double track schools to be reduced from 400 to 100: GES
The number of Senior High Schools running the double track system will be reduced from 400 to 100 in the next academic year, the Chairman of the Ghana Education Service Council, Michael Nsowah, has said.

According to him, the GETFund money would be used to “complete all uncompleted projects.”
“I can assure the nation that, within the next two or three years, double track will cease. Certainly the next academic year, we are now talking about 400 [schools running the system but,] about 300 will go.
"We are not sure we will be able to do 100 percent, that is what I said, at least double track will still be in about 100 schools instead of 400, so by the following year when everything has been done there would be no double track," he said.

The double track system was introduced by government following the sharp rise in enrollment after implementation of the Free Senior High School.
