According to the Ghana Education Service (GES), the reporting date for first-year students is December 4, 2023, as noted on the Placement form.
This comes after Parliament requested that the Minister of Education reconsider moving the reopening date to the first week of January, rather than Monday, December 4.
According to a statement released by the Parliamentary Service, “due to the short notice with its attendant inconvenience to students, parents, teaching and non-teaching staff, the House proposes for the consideration of the Hon. Minister of Education the first week of January 2024 as a more convenient and appropriate time for parents, students and teachers to adequately prepare for academic work.”
The Ghana Education Service, on the other hand, stated in a statement dated Saturday, December 2, that “it is the expectation of management that schools begin registration and orientation of students from the 4th of December 2023.”
According to the academic calendar, there will be a Christmas break on the 21st of December 2023, and classes will reconvene on the 3rd of January to continue academic work until March 5th, 2024.
“Management encourages all students who have yet to complete their Self-placement to do so as soon as possible.”
“We thank all stakeholders for their contributions and support of the CSSPS process up to this point.” We continue to ask for your patience in order to ensure that the SHS academic calendar is implemented smoothly in order to return to the pre-COVID academic schedule.”
