The Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, is expected to present a mid-year assessment of Ghana’s education sector on Monday, July 20, as part of the Government Accountability Series, where he is also expected to outline details of a GH¢3 billion infrastructure programme aimed at abolishing the double-track system in Senior High Schools (SHSs).

The announcement was made by the Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, in a post on his official Facebook page ahead of the event.

According to Mr Kwakye Ofosu, the Education Minister will provide an update on the government’s performance in the education sector during the first half of the year and highlight key policies and interventions being implemented to improve access to quality education.

A major feature of the briefing will be the breakdown of the Cabinet-approved GH¢3 billion infrastructure programme designed to address classroom and boarding facility deficits that have necessitated the double-track system in some Senior High Schools.

“Tomorrow, Minister of Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, will appear at the Government Accountability Series for a Mid-Year assessment of Education in Ghana,” Mr Kwakye Ofosu wrote.

“Among others, he will break down a GHS 3 billion infrastructure programme approved by Cabinet to abolish the undesirable Double Track system in our Senior High Schools. Don’t miss it.”

The Government Accountability Series is intended to provide ministers with a platform to account for the performance of their sectors and update the public on government programmes and policy implementation.
