The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced Saturday, January 5, 2019 as the reopening date for final year and first year Green Track Senior High School students.
Second year and Single Track students are expected to resume for the second semester of the 2018/2019 academic year on Friday, March 1, 2019; while 1st year Gold Track students will resume on Tuesday, May 11, 2019.
A statement issued on Tuesday and signed by Head of Public Relations at the GES, Cassandra Twum Ampofo said the early reopening is to give the final year students ample time to prepare towards the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
“Students on the Gold track who went for the Christmas break are also to report back to school to continue their 1st Semester on the same 5th January, 2019,” the statement said.
“Meanwhile, all 2nd years (form two) and single track students will resume for the 2nd Semester on the 1st of March 2019. 2nd Semester for the Gold track begins on the 11th of May 2019,” it added.

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE KILLS. THE GREAT KWAME NKRUMAH WAS THE ONE WHO FIRST INTRODUCED THE SHIFT SYSTEM IN OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WHEN THE STUDENT POPULATION BECAME MORE THAN THE AVAILABLE CLASSROOMS. A C0NFUUSED PERSON WILL ALWAYS BE C0NFUUSED WITH SIMPLE THINGS THAT REQUIRE SOME THINKING. IF THIS SYSTEM GIVES OPPORTUNITY TO A VILLAGE PUPIL WITH AGGREGATE 38 TO GAIN ADMISSION INTO AN SSS TO PURSUE FURTHER EDUCATION SO BE IT. WE HAVE CHEATED THE VILLAGE PUPILS FOR FAR TOO LONG.
hmm, for the first time in our country's history secondary School students have to reopen on this confused academic calendar. Is this the type of education Dr Kwame Nkrumah envisaged for his grandchildren? Our Political leaders must not be playing guinea pigs with the future of our youths
Every policy will be wrong unless you are the one benefitting from it. It didn't make sense for Jesus to leave all the sheep in search of just one sheep unless you are the one he was looking for
Freedom is not free! You either fight for it or something else will be given to you and that is not freedom it is poverty.
Nana Addo free education is the most expensive in the history of this country. Now because of Free education even food and water is being over taxed. You don't have the wisdom to take at least 40 percent of the oil blocks. If we we continue to take the small percentages Africa will always be poor. And the same person keeps shouting Africa beyond aid! If you want Africa beyond aid take sensibl percentages for the uncountable resources God has given us and stop chasing the poor Ghanaian for more and more and more taxes! Wisdom is seriously scares with this government.
