Importance Notice from Ghana Education Service (GES) Academic Calendar
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has made an arrangement about the academic calendar.
According to the Ghana Education Service (GES) decided to go back to the old and normal academic calendar, which was disrupted due to COVID 19 outbreak. The G.E.S. has made changes and adjustments to the current academic calendar.
However, Parents are to take note about the following :
1. The G.E.S. will revert to the old academic calendar.
2. There will be 3 full terms this year and 1 term of the next academic year, all within this year, making 4 terms from January to December 2023.
Term Base
3. First Term: January to March 2023
Second Term: April to June 2023
Third Term: July to September
4. First Term for the 2024 academic calendar will start from October to December 2023.
5. Your wards will be promoted from their current class to the next class in October 2023. e.g., if your ward is in class 6 now, by October he will be promoted to JHS 1.
6. Parents will be required to buy the books for their wards in the 2023/2024 academic year in October 2023 instead of January 2024.
7. 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.
8. Parents are to note that even though this arrangement will bring discomfort now, it will be a relief to them in January 2024, when they might have been buying the books for their wards right after the Christmas festivities.
9. Parents are to note that vacation days within this term will be very short. Meaning it will be less than two weeks.
11. Parents are to plan and prepare adequately for the next 6 to 7 months, when these changes mentioned will reach their peak.
Hence, they should kindly take note that this is solely the decision of the G.E.S. and not the School.
