Former President John Agyekum Kufuor, says the Double Track system is a good initiative.
Speaking to a group of students from the Doxa Open University at his residence Tuesday, Mr. Kufour suggested that with the current trend of the world's evolvement, it is imperative that the minimum educational level should be the 2nd cycle.
In his view, in as much government wants to improve the educational level of Ghanaian youth through the double track system, the policy is not an everlasting one.
According to him, the policy will go a long way to help curb the increasing number of teenage pregnancy and Juvenile delinquency.
“The good thing about this effort [double track] is that the government has come out to say that it is not a permanent solution and that it is a transitional program government is perusing and that in six years’ time, government would have put in place adequate infrastructure so we would not have to live on the double track system,” he said.
Former Chief of Staff in the Kufour-led government, Mr. Kojo Mpiani, said the fact that students are in excess compared to infrastructure, does not mean that others should be left behind.
According to him, persons with better alternatives and suggestions on how to effectively manage the double track program, should be brought to the fore.
