A Professor of Education Planning and Leadership at the Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (I. E. P. A), Yaw Afari Ankomah, says there seem to be no political will to ensure the full implementation of the Language Policy in our school system.

“History of Ghana’s School Language Policy presents a picture of a struggle between rhetoric and implementation”, he noted. Prof. Ankomah said there was the urgent call for the policy to be implemented at all levels of education to create the necessary level playing field for all learners so all could equally enjoy the educational packages being rolled out by government. This, he said, would contribute successfully to achieve the Education 2030 Agenda as a nation

The Dean of the Faculty of Educational Foundations, UCC,  Prof. Eric Nyarko-Sampson, has called on Government to provide the needed financial and logistical support for the effective implementation of the Double Track System.

Prof. Nyarko-Simpson said the challenges of the implementation of the Free Senior High School in 2017 should serve as a lesson to Government. “We want to see that the infrastructural challenge facing senior high schools does not rear its head again because that is the reason why the Double Track System has been introduced,” he advised.
