Tettey-Enyo
Accra, Sept. 2, Ghanadot/GNA – Mr Alex Tettey-Enyo, Minister
of Education, on Tuesday announced that the three year
Senior High School (SHS) programme will begin in 2010/2011
academic year.
Those entering SHS this year will, therefore, pursue a
four-year programme while government deals with the legal
requirements which includes amending a section of the
education act which provides for a four-year SHS education.
At a press conference to respond to some issues in the
educational sector, the Minister said: “We wish to assure
all of you that before the commencement of the 2010/2011
academic year all the requirements will be put in place to
address the challenges associated with the changeover.”
Mr Tettey-Enyo said following Cabinet’s approval of the
reversal of the duration of the SHS from four years to three
years, the sector Ministry had to put in place the necessary
facilities such as additional classrooms, laboratories and
textbooks and revise the syllabuses in line with the three
year programme.
