Cabinet accepted the proposed reversal to the initial three years which was changed to four years when the opposition party, NPP, were in government. The New Patriotic Party who were the minority in parliament at the time questioned the huge sum of money that was spent on drinks. This, he said, was to enable the government reverse the duration for Senior High School education, from the current four years, to three years. “Cabinet accepted the proposed reversal to three years, and indicated that school enrolment for the three-year program should commence in September 2010,” he told the House. The NDC criticised the NPP for rushing to make the duration four-years without putting the needed infrastructure, including syllabi and textbooks, in place.
