The Ghana Education Service (GES) has released the academic calendar for Basic and Senior High Schools across the country for the 2024/2025 academic year.
In a statement sighted by Ghanamediatrend, the service indicated that all first-year students for single track and transitional schools, as well as all continuing students in single track schools, will report on Wednesday, October 30, 2024.
This means that all prospective students who are waiting for their Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results and SHS placement are expected to begin school on October 30, 2024.
According to GES, the change in reopening dates is to ensure that the school calendar starts in September 2024.
However, “The academic year begins on Wednesday, 30th October, 2024, for all senior high schools.
Please note that the current first-year students in transitional calendar schools will end their 2023/2024 academic year on Monday, October 28, 2024, and be promoted to Form Two (2) to continue with the new academic year immediately.
“Incoming first-year students for single track and transitional schools will also begin school on Wednesday, 30th October, 2024. Additionally, all continuing students in single-track schools will reopen for the new academic year on Wednesday, 30th October, 2024,”
“This re-opening date aims to ensure that the school calendar starts in September next year and paves the way for our final year students to write their 2025/2026 WASSCE in May/June.”
