The Managing Director of the State Transportation Corporation (STC), Nana Akomea, has stated that the Double Track system was implemented because the Akufo-Addo government did not anticipate the huge numbers of the free SHS policy.
According to him, even though the party before winning the December 2016 election knew that there were many JHS graduates who could not access SHS, the government was overwhelmed with the numbers hence the introduction of the Double Track system .
Speaking on the Morning Starr on Thursday, Mr. Akomea, who is also a member of the NPP communications team, stated that the implementation of the free SHS policy has exceeded his expectations.
He added that the double track system will be abandoned if the structures being built in various SHSs across the country are completed.
“What President Akufo-Addo has done is so monumental and you can start making fun of it. I think the implementation exceeded my expectations. Everyone thought it was awesome and there were even people at the party who thought it should have been done in fourth year. “
Mr. Akomea added: “The infrastructure is being expanded in the schools that young people want to go to. If you want to build school buildings, expand the infrastructure in the schools that children want to go to. “
