The opening of schools for first-year high school students has been rescheduled for March 18. The first years were originally supposed to start school on the 10th of March.
The Ghana Education Service (GES) said in a statement that “this is to provide students and parents enough time to prepare for school and also to prepare for school management.”
“Management has also noted that some students have not yet enrolled and the extension will give these students the opportunity to do so as well,” the statement added.
Academic work will commence fully on Monday, March 22.

Meanwhile, GES granted an appeal from the Heads of Senior High Schools for a mid-Semester break from Monday 8 March to Thursday 11 March 2021.
“This Mid Semester Break is not compulsory and so students who wish to stay on campus must be fed and adhere to school rules,” the service added.
Schools only resumed physical academic practice in January 2021 following a 10-month break from coronavirus.
Basic school students from kindergarten (KG) to junior high school (JHS) resumed their classroom activities on 15 January while Continuing High School (SHS) students returned to school on January 18, 2021. Tertiary students also returned to the lecture halls on January 9, 2021.
