Sekondi College St. Johns Senior High School, Secondi Ola Girls' Senior High School, Kenyasi Dr. Yaw Adutwum also stated that the Double Track system has allowed rural Ghanaian pupils to attend some of the country's finest schools.
Dr. Adutwum commended the president for implementing the Double Track system in Ghana per his recommendation.
Since its implementation, some Ghanaians have criticized the Double Track system, arguing that it has severely disrupted the country's educational calendar. Dr. Adutwum asserts, however, that the advantages of the double-track system have been greater.
Contrary to what detractors have claimed, he emphasized that not all senior high schools in Ghana currently use the dual track system.
"Not all Ghanaian senior high schools utilize the double track system. There are many more institutions with the necessary facilities that do not utilize the double-track system.
The double-track system has had no negative impact on academics. Even more contact hours have been added. Students from rural areas now have the opportunity to attend some of the best institutions in Ghana.
A student attending Kyeraa would not have been able to attend these large institutions studying engineering, science, and others, but the double track system has made this possible.
