The Ga South Municipal Chief Executive, Joseph Nyani, says he will abolish the public school shift system in his municipality by 2020.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I came [into office], I found that almost 60% of the schools run the shift system. It is my vision to end the shift system or to abolish the shift system,\u00a0and that\u2019s the reason why I am putting up these school buildings to make sure we are able to solve that issue,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
He added that, \u201cI have given myself a timeline that by 2020, I should be able to end the shift system in this municipality.\u201d<\/p>\n
He made this known during a sod cutting ceremony for a six unit classroom block at Kokrobite. The six unit classroom block is to complement the only existing school in the community.<\/p>\n
This followed a sod cutting for the renovation of a six unit classroom block at the Domeabra Methodist Basic School.<\/p>\n
Both projects are estimated at about GHC 700,000, and are expected to be completed in the next four months.<\/p>\n
The shift system allows students to attend classes in turns . They normally attend classes in the morning or afternoon.<\/p>\n
The MCE\u2019s predecessor, Jerry Akwei Thompson, failed to deliver on a similar promise he made in 2014 after significant efforts were made in that regard.<\/p>\n
