The Education Ministry of Kenya has requested the support of Ghana's Education Ministry to enable them to design a double-track system for their country’s education sector.
A letter signed by Prof George Magoha, Kenyan’s Cabinet Secretary, indicated that the technical assistance will ensure that there are no hitches when students transit from the first cycle to the second cycle level in 2023.
“I will appreciate if you can consider sending one or two officers to spend about 10 days in Kenya, to help conceptualise and design the Double Track System,” the letter stated.
He added, “Kenya will meet travel, accommodation and other related costs.”
Prof Magoha in the letter further commended the Education Minister, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh for initiating the programme and was hopeful for a “fruitful engagement.”
The double-track system was introduced by President Nana Akufo-Addo in 2018 after the second year of the Free SHS policy to afford government with the capacity to deal with a large number of placed candidates who would not have had the opportunity to access Free SHS as a result of lack of classroom space.
The double-track system is in two sessions, thus The Green Track and The Gold Track. The Green Track represents the first batch of students who would go to school for a semester and are later followed by the Gold Track students who would continue after students of the green track session have vacated on the academic calendar.Latest Stories
