Public Schools To Reopen On January 18, 2022

Deputy Education Minister, Hon. Rev. Ntim Fordjour, has disclosed that schools are expected to reopen on the 18th of January, 2022.

He says a Committee made up of Headmasters and Teachers which he chaired was constituted to design an academic calendar for the next three years.

Public basic schools were supposed to reopen on Tuesday, January 11, 2022, but the resumption date was extended by a week.

The earlier January 11 basic school reopening date, was postponed amid the conduct of the maiden edition of the national standardized test for all primary four students in government basic schools.

He noted that an official 2022 school calendar in due course will be made available to relevant stakeholders, prospective students and members of the general public this week.

The Member of Parliament for Builsa South Constituency has said the delay in the announcement of the government school reopening date is a worrying situation that must be addressed quickly.

“We don’t know exactly when Public Basic Schools will reopen. Today, January 10, 2022, Private Basic schools have reopened. When will Public Basic schools reopen, we need to know,” the Education Committee member urged.
