Minister of Education Haruna Iddrisu has officially inaugurated a high-powered committee tasked with overseeing the transition from the double-track system to a single-track system in Senior High Schools (SHS) and Senior High Technical Schools (SHSTS).
The Minister was supported by his able Deputy Minister for Education, Dr. Clement Apaak.
