Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the vice presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has criticized the government for lacking solutions to the multiple crises facing the double-track secondary education system.

Education minister Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum recently cautioned against the immediate abolition of the double-track system during a meeting with the clergy, stressing that such a move could jeopardize the educational future of many students. His remarks followed the NDC's pledge to end the double-track system if they win the 2024 elections.

Addressing NDC supporters at Gbiniyiri in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba Constituency on Friday, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang questioned how the abolition of the double-track system would negatively impact the educational future of students.

She argued that the Education Minister's statement confirms the government's inability to resolve the challenges plaguing the double-track system in secondary schools.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang emphasized that, unlike the NPP, the NDC has thoroughly considered the challenges of the double-track system and plans to implement interventions, including expanding school infrastructure, to address them.

She highlighted that the previous NDC government successfully ended the shift system at the basic school level and intends to do the same at the senior level to abolish the double-track system.

Despite the perceived collapse of the country's educational system under the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang expressed hope for secondary education, citing the NDC's pragmatic measures to rectify the situation. She urged voters to support NDC presidential candidate Mr. John Dramani Mahama and NDC parliamentary candidates in the December 7 general elections.
