Public basic schools in Ghana will officially bring an end to the 2022/2023 academic year next week, on Thursday, September 14, 2023.
Basic schools in Ghana officially resumed the third term of the 2022/2023 academic year on Tuesday, June 27, 2023. A total of 11 weeks and 2 days are expected to be spent in the third term.
Basic Schools 2023/2024 Academic Calendar
The Ghana Education Service has yet to release the academic calendar for the 2023/2024 academic year. The current academic year began in January 2023. It is also expected that the 2023/2024 academic year will start in January 2024.
In this case, there may be some changes to the date. This is because the BECE and other academic activities were successfully completed early in the academic year.
The Ghana Education Service is trying their possible best to restore the old academic calendar. Due to this, the academic calendar for both basic schools and senior high schools will end in September this year. This will help the Ghana Education Service restore the old academic year, whereby the academic year starts in September or October each year.
