The Free Senior High School Secretariat has given a guarantee that it will look into all matters raised regarding the gold track group of the double track system.

The second batch of the double track system that is, the Gold track students began reporting to their various senior high schools on Saturday.


The system, which forms part of the free Senior High School programme (SHS), began in September 2018 and saw students in the first batch, the Green Track attending school for two months.

Some heads of senior high schools have raised some concerns about the lack of space to accommodate the second batch students of the double track system and lack of adequate resources.

Josberta Gyan Kwakye, Public Relations Officer of the Free SHS Secretariat said her team has taken note of the challenges and will have them resolved.

“We are currently discussing procurement for some items. So if these schools have requested for these items, then we will take it up from there.”

“With the Computerized School Selection and Placement System, students are placed in schools they want to be. So if for one reason or the other, the student realized that the school is far away from their locality, they should speak to the head teacher of that particular school, if there is vacancy for boarding, something can be worked out from there”, she emphasized.
