The second batch of the government’s double track system – Gold Track – for the Free SHS policy are set to begin school today, November, 8, 2018, barely two months after the Green track, which is the first batch, started.
The Green Track are set to vacate on November 8, to pave the way for the Gold track to begin academic work.
Parents have also been advised to register their wards before academic work begins next month.
The double track is an initiative of the government to address the growing number of students benefiting from the Free Senior High School (SHS) Policy.
At least 490,514 candidates who sat the 2018 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) qualified to be in senior high schools (SHS) and technical institutes for the commencement of the double-track educational system.
They constitute 90 per cent of the 521,710 candidates who registered for the BECE this year.
Deputy Education Minister in-charge of Basic and Secondary Schools Dr. Yaw Adutwum, has assured that the GES is very well prepared.
