The government has announced plans to dedicate GHC1 billion from the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) to phase out the double-track system in Senior High Schools (SHSs).
Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu disclosed this during the commissioning of a new staff accommodation facility at Accra Girls’ Senior High School on Thursday, September 11, 2025.
Mr. Iddrisu explained that the funds will be factored into the 2026 national budget as part of efforts to address the infrastructure deficit that gave rise to the double-track system.
“We’re committed to ending the double-track system as our contribution to improving the quality of Senior High School education.
“Accordingly, into the 2026 formula of the GETFund, President Mahama has directed the Finance Minister Dr. Ato Forson to make an allocation of GHC1 billion dedicated to managing the transition and responding to the hurdles of the transition,” he stated.
