Amid calls for a return to the four-year Senior High School system following the release of the recent West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results, President John Dramani Mahama has jumped to the defense of the current system.
According to him, the “call for a return to 4yr SHS is uncalled for” as statistics show that students have performed better in the 3-year system.
The President’s official Twitter account tweeted a graph on Friday morning indicating better performances after the country reverted to the 3-year system.
The NPP administration under then President John Kufuor started the 4-year Senior High School programme in 2007. However, the NDC reverted to the 3-year system after they regained power in 2009.
