The academic year begins on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, for all SHS, whereas, the current first-year students in transitional calendar schools will end their 2023/24 academic year on Monday, October 28, 2024, and be promoted to Form Two to continue with the new academic year immediately.
This is contained in a press release from the GES signed by Mr Prince Agyeman-Duah, Director of Schools and Instructions Division, and copied to the Ghana News Agency.
According to the statement, the incoming first-year students for Single Track and Transitional Schools would begin school on Wednesday, October 30, 2024.
Also, all continuing students in Single Track Schools would reopen for the new academic year on Wednesday, October 30, 2024.
