Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum has hinted of plans by the government to reduce the number of Senior High Schools in Ghana from 13,000 to 2500.
He explained that the move forms part of a re-engineering the country’s a educational system to promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
Dr. Adutwum noted that the new system if successful would be called the Junior Senior High School.
“We have awarded contract for about 15 schools that are going to be what we call lower secondary.
“That facilities we are providing is just like any high school facility and every one of these schools has library , biology, chemistry and physics lab. Beautiful school buildings and they are coming to a community near you very soon.
“In 2023 when we open those schools you are going to see how we are going to provide six years quality secondary education and not three years plus some three years old middle school-led education that we call high school,” the Minister said.
