Touching on the Double Track Component of the Free Senior High Programme, the Education Minister, said,”though not all the Public Second Cycle Schools in the country, run the Programme, government’s efforts are yielding positive results, such that very soon the system could phase out for a return to the previous Single Stream Educational System’’.
