The Free SHS policy cannot be implemented without the double-track system according to Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum the Deputy Education Minister in charge of Basic & Secondary Education.
The Deputy Minister was reacting to the fact that the opposition National Democratic Congress says they will review the double-track system when they come back to power.
Dr Adutwum who was speaking in an interview on Neat FM said there can be no free SHS without the double-track system and if the NDC wants to scrap it, then they lack understanding.
“If you don’t like the double track, you can’t do the free SHS unless in some 20 years to come . . . and so if you claim you like the free SHS but not the double-track system then you lack understanding . . . where will they accommodate the rest of the students after they scrap the double-track system. If you are against the double-track system then you don’t really know how the system works,” he said.

Empty barrel. Look at him, you know everything yet you were not able to assess the need of the policy resulting in blue, green, yellow, brown shift. Kwas1akwa
@HolyGhost(11). Would you know what the proper way is? Even JDM and the rest of NDC don't seem to know what the "proper" way is. "WE SHALL HAVE CONSULTATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS" = "I HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE WHAT THE ALTERNATIVE IS". Do NDC know how much consultations were done before the current implementation was agreed? Until NDC provide a better alternative I think they should give us a break with the cheap "politricks". Ppl are wiser these days.
You guys should advice your super incompetent wee polluted brain president to do thing in the proper manner and stop running the country like a dictator
You and the npp have no brains to run proper SHS.
Yes, Ghanaians, need food; where is the farm Mahama constructed? What support did mahama gave to farmers and the ministry of Agric to produce food? Under Nana Addo, Extension officers who had stayed home for about 6 years unemployed have been employed to help farmers. Planting for and Jobs and fertilizer subsidy. Was your Mahama able to do any of these? Did you say Ghanaians need electricity? Interesting. Did Ghanaians need electricity between 2012 and 2016? were you living in Mars then? NDC will never cease to amaze. For four good years Ghanaians slept in darkness. companies collapsed and laid off workers for lack of electricity. Your Mahama had no clue as to how to deal with the problem. Nana has solved it in case you still not wake up from the shock of the 1 million vote defeat which in unprecedented in the history of Ghana. it shows how bad and incompetent you and your NDC government was and continue and continue to be. You are talking of jobs, hahahahaha. Through bad management of the economy employment were freezed under your incompetent NDC. Under Nana Addo, Nurses who were staying home are employed. More teachers employed. We had graduate unemployment association in Ghana. Now we have NABCO. We can point to 1D1F, just two days ago a huge fertilizer company under 1d1f has been inaugurated. There are a lot more already working and more are on course. 1 village 1 Dam. Come to the north and see. Come to Tamale and see the Tamale interchange project. The rail way project will complete soon. Sod had been cut for the construction of many roads. Many school buildings are near completion. You will be more dazed come 2020 than happened in 2016.
You are definitely hold owe allegiance to the NDC and you are one of their propagandist. How on earth can justify you pay more for your wards education free SHS. Is it a requirement under free SHS to have extra classes for your ward? It is so difficult to understand when an NDC speaks.
That is you and your NDC's problem. You have only complained about supposedly problems that come with the policy and must be addressed. But as usual you have not been able to point to a single problem than needs to be addressed in your very long write-up. That is why the NPP say you and your party don't understand the policy. You definitely don't understand the policy.
Please Bright we don't have short memory as your JDM think. When JDM was in power there were no BEDS in Korle Bu. I work there. The were no jobs during JDM time and graduate group themselves and form an association called Unemployed graduates Association of Ghana. The first time in the history of Ghana we all heard this group name. All this happened under JDM. In fact late president Mills is far far better leader than JDM. We have not forgotten so soon. So please do not try and take us to memory lane cos JDM paa dier hhmmmm.
Keep insulting us, the N.P.P. knows everything. They have never made a mistake in their life. Anytime you complain about any issue you are tagged a ***barred word***. We hear you, it is now ignorance to complain that I am spending more under free SHS than I use to pay under the fee paying regime because I now pay for extra classes and pay transport fare each day to the location of the classes. Continue the arrogance and don't listen to advice, don't forget Koku Anyidoho and co. vowed you can never be president in Ghana but today you are president, the same way another person can become president despite your so called good works. Don't forget, party members don't win elections, it is we or owe no allegiance to any party
Do you want to tell us that you are smarter than those that are spearheading this FSHS program?, per your argument, there is no doubt you are an Executive of NDC. With all the years that you guys had at your disposal, what did you do to start a program like what is going on now?, in all your ranting, you did not provide any suggestions, don’t tell me you guys started progressive SHS, because you guys would have collapsed that little one based on the debt left behind. So stop the n0n sense and allow intelligent minds to work. Nobody needs your opinion or your advice.
