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.”
