The Ghana Education Service (GES) has postponed the reopening of first-year Senior High School (SHS) students.
The first-years across the country were expected to be in school on Wednesday, 10 March 2021; but per a new communique from the GES, it has been rescheduled to Thursday, March 18, 2021.
“Management had decided that the reopening of schools for first-year students should be rescheduled for Thursday, March 18 through to Sunday, March 21, 2021” a press release signed by Anthony Boateng, the Deputy Director-General of GES indicated.
This change according to the Service will “give parents and guardians some additional time to prepare the students for school and for the schools to have additional time to prepare to receive them…the spread-out period is to enable the schools to structure the admission processes in such a way that not too many students get crowded at the school at one particular point in time”.
“Academic work will commence fully on Monday 22 March 2021” GES added.
