The Ghana Education Service (GES) informs the public, in particular parents, teachers, and students of public KG-Primary, JHS and Second Cycle schools, that the dates for the reopening of schools, as recommended by the Ministerial Committee on School’s Calendar, are as follows:
Senior High School Reopening Dates
- SHS 3: Monday, 9th January 2023
- SHS 2: Monday, 9th January 2023
- SHS 1: Sunday, 20th February 2023
On the websites of the MoE and GES as well as other social media accounts, you may find the whole calendar for the 2023 academic year for pre-tertiary public schools.
The calendar beginning in January 2023 prevents SHS 3 from taking a lengthy vacation. This will enable SHS 1 and SHS 2 to attend classes as well.
In order for SHS 3 students to attend class continuously from January 2023 to the end of September 2023, when the WASSCE concludes, the calendar will need to be adjusted.
Two (2) of the three (3) year groups in the transitional option must be enrolled in class at any given moment.
The Free Senior High School Program, which called for a temporary fix, has also resulted in an increase in enrollment at the colleges of education.
Finally, a break for teachers is guaranteed under the 2023 calendar.
