Note:
- Due to the start of the calendar in January 2023, SHS 3 will not be able to take a long break.
- This will allow SHS 1 and SHS 2 students to attend classes as well.
- This means that the calendar will need to be adjusted so that SHS 3 students can continue to attend class from January 2023 until the end of the WASSCE in September 2023.
- In the transitional option, two (2) of the three (3) year groups must be present at all times.
- Furthermore, as a result of the Free Senior High School program, the Colleges of Education have seen an increase in school enrollment, necessitating a short-term solution.
- Finally, the calendar for 2023 includes a break for teachers.
