“I am yet to see any development in the double track. The free SHS is still dormant because some of the teachers are bitter within and are now reflecting in their jobs. Some are also not committed and dedicated to the process and the policy may not die but the process might not be endearing,” he noted.
The double-track system which comprises of a green and gold stream took off on September 11, 2018, with the track green students enrolling for the 2018/2019 academic year under the second phase of the Free SHS concept.
