The reopening date for Basic Schools across the country for the 2023/2024 academic year has been set for Tuesday, October 3.
This is according to a press release issued by the Ghana Education Service (GES) on Wednesday.
According to the Service, this will bring the academic calendar back to the pre-Covid era.
“Management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) wishes to inform you that the reopening date for Basic Schools (KG, Primary & Junior High Schools) across the country for the First Term of the 2023/2024 Academic Year is 3rd October 2023.”
“This brings the academic calendar back to pre-COVID-19 and we wish to also convey to all teaching and non-teaching staff the sincere appreciation of Management for their immense support during our efforts to ensure teaching and learning during the difficult period of our country.”
GES has thus asked its Regional Directors to communicate the development across.
"By this letter, Regional Directors of Education are requested to communicate this date to Metro/Municipal/ District Directors of Education to inform all Heads of Basic Schools to bring to the attention of parents/guardians and students to take note and prepare accordingly for smooth and effective academic work."
Meanwhile, the third term for Basic schools ends on Thursday, September 14.
