The government has given a firm response to the latest criticism of the dual-track system, stemming from its flagship Free High High High policy.
Pressure Group, Coalition for the Ghana Education Campaign (GNECC) called on the government to abandon the dual track system by the 2020/2021 academic year.

The group claims to have found that the program is hostile to teaching and learning.
"Some of the teachers we talked to said that the contact hours are too long," Kofi Asare, an influential member of the group, said Friday on the News News program of Joy News TV.
He claimed that the contact hours start from 7:40 to 17:00. "Go to the top of Accra and find out for yourself," said Asare.
Responding to requests, however, the Deputy Minister of Education, Yaw Osei Adutwum stated that GNECC's arguments are unfounded.
The deputy minister pointed out that the argument against the double track was that it would reduce contact hours. Therefore, the GNECC argument that too many contact hours are in contact is not tenable.
The GNECC also said that one hour per period is too much, because for a two-period course, the last 30 minutes are not productive.
Mr. Adutwum noted, however, that teachers are trained to engage the clbad and use other means, such as splitting students into groups, to conduct discussions and reflect on what they have been taught. All these elements are productive.

He also added that the GNECC's complaint from 7:40 pm to 5:00 pm is false. "What's normal is 8am to 4pm," he said.
Adutwum also noted that the government had previously stated that the dual track program was temporary and would be implemented in five to seven years. GNECC's request for "scrap next year" is therefore weak.
GNECC insists, however, that its conclusions be well-founded. "When students pbad their final exam next year, we'll see if the dual track is productive," Asare said.
The deputy minister said the policy, however, had objectives and that, in their view, the double track was on the right track. "
