“All students in SHS 1 will start classes from March 10, with all students embarking on a single-track academic calendar.
"Their seniors in SHS 2 and SHS 3 will, however, return to school from January 18,” he announced.
Per the calendar issued by GES, students in SHS 1 will have 1,080 and 1,440 contact hours respectively within two semesters.
