General News of Saturday, 6 October 2018Source: mynewsgh.comGovernment halts Double Track System in Tatale SHSMinister of Education, Dr. Matthew Opoku PrempehThe government appears to be quietly cancelling the Double Track System under the Free Senior High School (SHS) in schools in the Northern Region following lack of basic teaching and learning structure. The withdrawal of the system shows a strong sign of government's unwillingness to tackle the over-weighing infrastructure deficit plaguing the Free Senior High School programme, at least in the short-run, as promised. Already, two other schools, Pong Tamale Senior High School and St. Charles Mini Seminary School, due to lack of infrastructure, after their dormitories were separately gutted by fire. The Assistant Headmaster of the school, Francis Sanekey, said students placed under the Double Track System refused to report because it is a Day School with inadequate infrastructure. Other schools that applied with Tatale Agric Senior High School have been upgraded to boarding status”, he alleged.
