    DOUBLE TRACK SYSTEM WAS “ADWENKESE”. IT ADDRESSED THE INFRASTRUCTURAL DEFICIT IN THE GHANA’S EDUCATION SYSTEM AND ENSURED ALL QUALIFIED STUDENTS GOT ACCESS TO ENJOY THE FREE SHS. BAWUMIA IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

    Aboa who told you that ten correct sentence brings food to the table.. i think u are a colonial pet... can you write in ur own language... get serious and make Good criticism..

  • Duku 2 years ago

    You're the one being misleading because the double-track students performed better in the WASSCE. The results are available for everyone to see, so claiming they can't write ten correct sentences is simply untrue.

  • Thief of Staff - Akosua Frema 2 years ago
