Double Track: You Create A Self Inflicted Problem And Sit In Your Air-conditioned Office To Devise A Lazy Approach To Solve It – Sammy Gyamfi Slams Gov’t

National Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has described the double track instituted by the Akufo Addo led government for the free senior high school as a lazy approach.

According to Sammy, the government created the problem of insufficient infrastructure because they failed to continue the previous government projects and then lazily instituted the double track system to make up for it.

When told that Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, the Deputy Minister for Education had announced that the Free SHS double-track policy had increased contact hours in schools, Sammy Gyamfi responded: “He sat in his air-conditioned office, designed a double-track policy which actually is a lazy approach [at] solving a self-inflicted problem, and he is drawing conclusions based on the policy he drew in his office.”

He continued: “I am telling you the reality in our schools today that contact hours have reduced significantly. The facilities are not there, we are having double track, parents are wasting a lot of money on [extra] classes fees…and so we are not deriving the benefits that we should be deriving from the Free SHS policy.”
