The Ghana Education Service (GES) has reiterated that the 2024/25 academic calendar will remain as initially announced, dismissing calls for a postponement of reopening dates for schools.
In a statement issued on Thursday (2 January) the GES clarified that Senior High School (SHS) students are expected to report to school on 3 January. Primary and Junior High Schools (JHS) will follow, reopening on 8 January.
The clarification follows concerns raised by the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) regarding unresolved financial challenges facing second-cycle schools. CHASS had warned that these issues could disrupt the reopening process and recommended a delay in the 3 January reopening date for SHS students.
Despite these concerns, the GES maintained that the academic calendar remains intact, and reopening will proceed as planned.
“The reopening dates for all levels of education stand as previously scheduled,” the statement emphasized.
The GES encouraged students, staff, parents, and the public to adhere to the announced schedule while assuring stakeholders of its commitment to ensuring a smooth reopening process.
