Government has announced plans to allocate GHC1 billion from the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) in the 2026 national budget to phase out the double-track system in Senior High Schools (SHSs).
Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu made the announcement on Thursday, September 11, 2025, during the commissioning of a new staff accommodation facility at Accra Girls’ Senior High School.
“We’re committed to ending the double-track system as our contribution to improving the quality of Senior High School education,” he stated.
He further disclosed that President John Dramani Mahama has directed the Finance Minister, Dr. Ato Forson, to include the allocation in the 2026 GETFund formula to support infrastructure expansion and ease the transition.
