Just30: when universities get crowded, the first compliant you will hear will come from SRC presidents.
Today you can get 1 in a room and 2 in a room as long as you can afford to pay and 4 in a room.
Those days in the 2000s when universities used to be crowded, there were 8 people in a room. Please the University that have been facing accomodations challenges over the years is University of Ghana sake of how their system runs and also because of their neighborhood. If they decide to handle their accommodation system just as how the other Uni's do their students will suffer. Hatso/East/West and campus private hostels are too expensive unlike their traditional Hostels [ Today you can get 1 in a room and 2 in a room as long as you can afford to pay and 4 in a room.
] 1 and 2 in a room comes at a cost. 4 in a room is bae  SRC in other Universities are not complaining because of their IN-OUT-OUT-IN/OUT accommodation system but University of Ghana was planned to take IN-IN-IN-IN so their SRC has been pressurering their administration to fix the problem. So many projects have stalled for years sake of contractual disaggreements and sometimes Governments actions. |

Just30 : so far, you've not mentioned any uni that is running double track. So, per your write up, there are only 3 years stream of students on colleges of education campuses, there are no level 400 students so your crowding complains is neither here nor there.  Only those admitted from 2018 onwards will attend for 4 years for a degree program in education. Which was a brilliant policy as well as the licensing exams for teachersCos I have so far seen that of Legon and UCC release. I'm yet to see a release from the other public Universities. KNUST were planning to do a double track but I'm yet to see an official release from them. What is brilliant about that license? If you knew the suffering they put them through before writing that stupid licential exams like you wouldn't talk this way. Their results will be released this month. Over 8000 trainees failed this year's licential exams |

I Just30: guy, a uni running online programs for it students does not make it a double track system. Even Harvard is not allowing their final year students to sit at home. It is completely illogical for any uni to let it final year students to sit at home.
Are you trying to say, Covid was a deliberate attempt to keep schools from admitting freshers?
Level 400 and 100s have a lot of stuffs to do on campus at this point, that cannot be done online. Level 200 and 300 dont have those problems. That is why they will complete their semester online. What kind of inter changing do you keep referring to? When level 200 and 300 are allowed on campus, they wont be inter changing anyone other group of students, they will just be joining their colleagues on campus.
No university provides enough accommodation for all it students and Legon is not an exception. Staying in a private hostel in North Legon is not that expensive as you think. Most of them, the cost sums up to the same amount you will pay for hostel facility on campus.
Have you not realised that students population is finally dropping back to normal levels in SHS? That's to tell you that the current infrastructure of SHS can contain students and there is no need to double track, hence the cancellation. Infrastructure have also increased in shs around the country. As we speak, Accra Aca currently have empty classroom blocks.
No public uni is choked, govt is not the one that provide infrastructure on uni campuses but the Uni board based on their IGF. Mahama weaned off all unis from govt finances. The unis can borrow based on their own balance sheets and when they default, the debt becomes govt debt.
The unis are not spending much on any infrastructure and personnel because there's no need for that currently. Student increase is not significant enough to warrant it.
Colleges of education are being flooded because of government stipend and nothing else. That does not mean, there need to be additional spending on infrastructure in that area. That allowance shit need to be cancelled It makes no sense to be paying students for studying.
There was no crowding at colleges of education and student teachers were receiving quality training until the nonsense Allowance came back. Suddenly, everyone wants to train as a teacher Just30  ooo daabida  In the past, Colleges of Education were running 3year Diploma courses. First and second years were the ones staying on campus whilst final year students stayed outside for their off-campus teaching practice till completion. The Government rolled out a new program in all these training Colleges in 2018. Per the new program all Education colleges run 4year Degree courses, level 100/200/300 are supposed to stay on campus then they will go for off-campus teaching practice in level 400. Any sensible Government would have pre-empt and expanded all training Colleges to absorb the future extra batch of students but these low thinking Government sat aloof "two years" without building a hut in any of the training Colleges. Government had no plans for employing more Lecturers hence this nonsense double track  124 lazy Ministers  |

Just30: just no that online learning is not double tracking.
Once you know that, you will know what double tracking is.
All students are already learning online final year students will go on campus for their exams and first years will be allowed to familiarize with campus and have in person learning.
Other continuing students will continue with online learning for the rest of the semester. They might go back to in person learning as soon as we stop recording new cases.
This is called phased opening.
As we speak, my other siblings who are studying abroad are sitting home doing online learning because trump sent them to their home countries to do their learning online.
All tertiary schools have enough space for students, their only problem is with providing accommodation on campus for all of them which is not even possible for most unis around the world.
Most Unis have more than enough accommodation space for freshers while they allow continuing students who don't get on campus accommodation to sort themselves out with private hostels outside campus.
UG has 80,000 students and will never be able to provide on campus accommodation for everyone. But freshers will always get accommodation on campus. Private hostel facilities are in abundance for students outside campus.
Too bad because of court cases, their new campus hostel facilities are stagnant. I don't understand you? Why are you refusing to accept "the fact that Double track is still in the system"? To you "the deliberate attempt to delay the admission process of the SHS 1 into school this month? and "level 100+400 learning in school whilst level 200+300 study online at home to the middle of the semester then they interchange the two batches is not double track to you? Back to the UG case. It's not every student that would want to stay on campus but the University is supposed to provide accommodation that will meet the growing population/demand of the school, this is not rocket science. How do you expect many students to rent around Legon neighborhood? (Very expensive neighborhood) . My points again, -- The current SHS campuses can't contain all the students at a go. -- Public Universities are now choked sake of the Government's inability to complete most of their infrastructural projects that could have contain the high number of the first year students (Free SHS students in mind) --Goverments inability to employ more Lecturers into the Public Tertiary institutions is also a cause to this shift system. Now the "Lecturer-to-Students ratio" has widened hence the shift system (Most especially Colleges of Education) |

Just30: I'm not being economical with any truth, the fact that you are pissed with the govt does not mean you must not be objectively reasonable.
In any case, govt have no control on the running of universities at the moment.
No SHS student is staying at home, all SHS students will be on campus in this month. New admissions will happen in March for SHS1.
That is not double tracking.
For universities, I have siblings in both UCC, UPSA and KNUST All their students will be going to school within this month.
Polytechnics have decided to allow in person learning for for freshers and final years to come familiarize with campus and prepare for their final examinations respectively. For other continuing students, they will do online learning per their school policy.
Even Legon is not double tracking because they decided to run the remainder of their academic calendar void of in person contact. But for the changes in covid trajectory, they've decided to allow final years to be on campus for their exams and also use the opportunity to admit freshers and allow them to familiarize with campus.
Everyone is still schooling, whether online or in person.
All schools have enough space to accommodate every student, online learning is happening cos of COVID and that is not a shift system.  So how do you understand "Double track"? Per your logic, Half of the student body learning on campus up to the middle of the semester, then the other half will come and do half semester on campus is not Double track?  I give up. The truth is the Public institutions are choked, there aren't enough space for all students. Last year you saw what happened at UG? So this is their way of swerving the problem of accommodation instead of solving it.  |

Just30: Its not propaganda, you can educate yourself on what the double track was.
During it implementation, no single year group had it entire group on campus.
You forgot schools had to be close for a year
2. March 10th both SHS 2 and 1 will be on campus, they will both vacate for the Easter and come back to meet SHS 3 people still on campus writing their WASSCE.
No one has introduced double track at tertiary level.
All Unis are opening between today to the 10th.
Legon is saying they are smarter than all the other unis so they will only allow 1st years and final years on campus while other continuing students do online learning Masa, stop being economical with the truth. What do you understand by "Double track". The underlying factor is " some SHS students will stay in the house whilst others will be on campus", if this is not double track to you then you might want to do more research on what is meant by "double-track". About Tertiary institutions. You said it's only Legon? Sorry Legon is not the only university double tracking. Level 100 and 400 students will go to campus whilst levels 200 and 300 stays in the house for online studies. Later levels 200 and 300 will go to campus and levels 100 and 400 will go home and continue studies online. Do you know about the Training Colleges? 1st and 2nd years will resume next week. 1)-- 2nd year students will spend 6 weeks on campus, go home and continue studies online. They will write their examination Online. 2)-- 3rd year students will have their lectures online for 6 weeks, go to campus and join 1st years till the end of the semester. All the other Tertiary institutions have their "programmed shift systems" for the semester. If this is not Double-track then tell me what it is. This is happening because of "Lack of space in the Public institutions" from SHS to Tertiary institutions. Government couldn't envisage this happing before implementing the Free SHS policy?? |

Just30: have you asked yourself why SHS1 will have to go to school in March?
Mind you, the are only SHS 2 and 3 students in the system. New admission for SHS 1 have not been done by schools, all because of Corona.
From the look of things, new admissions for SHS will be shifting from September to March in the short run until the system can adjust It seems most of you easily buy into the propaganda of this lazy Government? Who asked them to delay the admission process for SHS 1 students? Here is the trick. 1)--- They are delaying the admission process for SHS 1 students because SHS 3 students will be completing very soon. 2)--- SHS 2 and 3 students are resuming this month. From March, SHS 2 students will go home for SHS 1 to join SHS 3 students on campus. 3)--- SHS 3 students will complete around May/June/July then SHS 2 students will resume. This is the most stupid Government decision in the history of Ghana. Low thinkers in the helm of affairs. All the excuse they give now is CORONA CORONA CORONA They should fix the "Double track problem" and stop this knee-jerk reactions. Now they've brought double track to the Tertiary level as well. |

Its not about what you have or how great you are, sometimes it's about the influence you have on others. That's one thing Egypt needs to look at else South Africa will forever take the top spot on the Continent. SA have investments in almost all African countries.
