The Ghana Education Service (GES) has launched a nationwide survey to gather public feedback on the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy and the Double Track System. This initiative, announced via GES’s official Facebook page on Saturday, February 22, 2025, aims to assess the effectiveness of these policies and address challenges faced by students, parents, and teachers.
Why the Survey?
The Free SHS policy and the Double Track System were introduced to improve access to secondary education in Ghana. However, their implementation has sparked debates on both benefits and challenges. The GES survey seeks to determine how well Ghanaians understand these policies, their overall impact, and potential areas for improvement.
Who Can Participate?
GES invites students, parents, teachers, and the general public to share their experiences, rate their level of satisfaction, and suggest possible enhancements. The feedback gathered will help policymakers make informed decisions about the future of education in Ghana.
Survey and National Education Forum
The survey comes at a crucial time as the National Education Forum, which commenced on February 18, 2025, in Ho, Volta Region, is reviewing Ghana’s education system. President John Dramani Mahama, speaking at the forum’s opening ceremony, emphasized its importance as a “non-partisan platform to bring together stakeholders from various sectors to evaluate our education system and recommend solutions.”
GES has stated that responses from the survey will be analyzed and used to inform discussions at the forum, ultimately shaping future education policies.
