Tema, Nov.08, - Some form one
students of Senior High Schools running the double-track educational system in
the Tema Metropolis have described their first term in school as very
challenging.
According to them, they were unable
to tackle all the topics in their various courses, a situation they are not
happy about.
Chemu SHS, Tema Methodist Day
SHS, Tema Manhean SHS, and Tema SHS are running the double track system in Tema
while Our Lady of Mercy SHS that was supposed to run the system is currently
running the single track due to very low admissions.
Miss Vanessa Yaader, a student of
Chemu on the green track told the Ghana News Agency that she was saddened by
their short stay in school as they commenced their SHS journey on September 11.
Miss Yaader added that they still
had many topics to cover adding that her parents were considering paying for
extra classes for her to acquire the needed knowledge before end of term
examinations.
Master Moro Abdul Rashid, another
student on the green-track, also complained of lack of text books for elective
subjects.
Master Rashid added that the form
one students did not have an Elective Chemistry tutor, a situation he described
as bad and detrimental to the their education.
A staff of Chemu SHS speaking
under condition of anonymity, said the teaching and non-teaching staff of the
school had successfully taken good care of the first batch of students under
the double-track system.
The staff further noted that, the
period was very challenging but the teachers applied their maximum efforts in
ensuring that the about 500 students on the track were given the needed
tuition.
She appealed to government to
consider some break for the non-teaching staff and administrators of the
schools running the double-track system as they would not go on vacation.
Students of the green-track
vacated on November 7 for the gold-track students to commence on November 10.
They would then join their mates
on campus on January 4, 2019 to February 28th for revision and end of term
exams, after which the gold-track would proceed on vacation while the
green-track continues with their second term.
