The Ghana Education Service (GES) has officially unveiled the academic calendar for basic schools and Senior High Schools (SHS) for the 2024/25 academic year.
Classes for all SHS students are set to commence on Wednesday, October 30, 2024. In contrast, current first-year students in transitional calendar schools will conclude their 2023/24 academic year on Monday, October 28, 2024, before being promoted to Form Two to seamlessly transition into the new academic year.
This information was detailed in a press release from the GES, signed by Mr. Prince Agyeman-Duah, Director of Schools and Instructions Division, and shared with the Ghana News Agency.
According to the announcement, incoming first-year students for both Single Track and Transitional Schools will also begin their studies on Wednesday, October 30, 2024. All continuing students in Single Track Schools will reopen for the new academic year on the same date.
The statement explained, “This re-opening date aims to ensure that the school calendar starts in September next year and pave the way for our final year students to write their 2025/26 WASSCE in May/June.”
