4 YEAR SHS RESULTS WAS BETTER BUT 3 YEARS IS THE BEST

The Minister of Education, Mrs Betty Mould Iddrisu has acknowledged that students who completed the 4 year system did far better than those who completed the 3- year SHS however has insisted this would not force government to go back to the NPP policy.
She said it is very clear that the ministry has been overwhelmed by the bad policies of the NPP administration which introduced the 4-year SHS system but failed to provide the necessary infrastructure to support the system.
Speaking to Adom Dwaso Nsem this morning, the sector minister insisted that government after meeting with stakeholders is convinced of the 3years.
Mrs Betty Mould could not understand why Ghana should have a 4 year system when all the other countries in the sub-region have 3years.

Betty Mould Iddrisu blamed the New Patriotic Party the current problems in the education sector.
She said the currently the Ministry is working on 65 dormitories which are on completion period.

Reacting to the comments, the then educational minister Professor Dominic Fobih stated the education minister Betty Mould do not understand the system before making any comments on the 4 year system.
He says the NPP provided the entire necessary infrastructure for the smooth take off of the 4 year system.
