Ending Double-Track System: Private Schools to accommodate 150k students – Dr. Apaak

The Deputy Minister for Education, Dr. Clement Apaak, says one hundred and fifty thousand (150,000) students will be channeled to private schools through the Centralized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS).

Speaking on the 2025 budget in Parliament on Monday, the deputy minister explained that the move is geared towards ending the double-track system.

He disclosed that 413 secondary and TVET institutions are still practicing the double-track system.

“As the Minister for Education has already announced, we anticipate that about one hundred and fifty thousand students will be channeled into the Private Schools system. Because the private schools will be included in the CSSPS,” the deputy Minister stated.

 According to him, “So we believe that with the combination of strategies, in adding infrastructure and funding some of the students to the Private Schools, we should be able to bring normalcy to our school system.

“The previous President had indicated in the wake of heated national debts that the double-track system would be ended before the end of his first term. Mr. Speaker when he failed to fulfill that promise, he then went on to say that by the beginning of his second term, the double track system would have been ended”, Dr. Apaak stated.

The deputy minister further stated that the positive change Ghanaians voted for “will reflect in their lives. A change that we can all feel and speak to.”

“Consequently, the NDC government under John Dramani Mahama will bring an end to this obnoxious double-track system by a combination of strategies. One is to complete the uncompleted structures dotted on campuses of our secondary schools.

“This can be achieved because the President, who is thoughtful and understands the plights of the common Ghanaian has done the needful by decapping GETFund. So GETFund will now be in the position to do what by law it is established to do. Two, we are also going to bring the Private Schools to participate in the delivery of the policy.” Dr. Apaak added.
