The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced a decision to revert to the old standard academic calendar which was disrupted due to Covid-19.
In view of this, the GES has made changes and adjustments to the current academic calendar.
There will be three full terms this year and one term of the next academic year all within this year making four terms from January to December 2023.Term 1- January to March 2023, Term 2-April to June 2023, Term 3- July to SeptemberTerm 1 for the 2024 academic calendar is from October to December 2023.Wards will be promoted from their current class to the next class in October 2023.
Parents will be required to buy the books for their wards in the 2023/ 2024 academic year in October 2023 instead of January 2024.Parents are to note that the books they buy in October 2023 will be used by their wards until the end of the 2023 /2024 academic year which would be in August 2024.
Though this arrangement will bring discomfort now, it will be a relief to them in January 2024 when they might have been now buying the books for their wards right after the Christmas festivities.Parents are to note that vacation days within this terms will be very short; less than two weeks.
Parents are advised to consider that reversion is solely the decision of the GES and not the School.Parents are to plan and prepare adequately for the next six to seven months when these changes mentioned will reach their peak.
