Dr. Francis Adomako, the Ashanti Regional Organiser for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who doubles as the Dean of all Regional Organisers, has called on President John Mahama and the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to render an unqualified apology to Ghanaians, especially parents and students, for deceiving them that they will abolish the Free Senior High School (FSHS) double track system when voted into power.

According to him, prior to the 2024 general election, the then candidate
Mahama and the NDC condemned the double track system.

Dr. Adomako, who is popularly known as Francois in the political space, recalled that they (NDC leadership) said it was not right for all forms of SHS students to be in school at different times.

“They said it was like a traffic light. They said they would even extend FSHS to private schools to ease congestion in various schools so as to do away with double track,” he recalled.

Dr. Adomako’s demand follows the revelation by the current Education Minister, Mr. Haruna Iddrisu, that government plans to abolish double track by 2027.

Speaking to “The New Trust” newspaper on Friday, 11th April 2025, the Ashanti Regional NPP Organiser, who is also an educationist, recalled that the NDC members said they would complete all 200 community schools in order to do away with the double track system.

“Now that Ghanaians have voted for them, the Minister says it can be done only in 2027. What a great deceit!” he pointed out.

“I’m calling on President John Mahama and the NDC leadership to do the honourable thing by apologising to Ghanaians for deceiving them on the abolition of double track,” he demanded.
