Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu says his ministry will give a reward to St. Peter’s Senior High School. The school, located in Nkwatia-Kwahu within the Eastern Region, became the first to stop using the double track system. This system was started by the government to handle more students after free senior high school began. It split students into green and gold groups for alternating school and break periods.
The minister, who is also the Tamale South MP, announced the school will get infrastructure support. He commended the institution for implementing its own internal measures ahead of the official government timeline. Iddrisu emphasized the need for more targeted investment in high school infrastructure. This investment is meant to expand capacity and completely end the double-track system by a set year.
He also stated that the current reduced contact hours under the rotating system are not good for proper teaching and learning. The reward is intended to recognize the school's initiative in finding a local solution to a national challenge.
