The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced a new reopening date for single-track Senior High Schools (SHSs).
Students were originally expected to resume on March 29, 2025, after vacating on March 4. However, GES has set April 23 for the reopening.
The decision, it noted, was to accommodate the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr and Easter celebrations.
In an official letter dated March 27, 2025, and addressed to all regional education directors, GES directed school heads to inform parents, guardians, and students about the development.
“By this letter, Regional Directors of Education are requested to communicate this information to all Heads of Single Track Senior High and Senior High Technical Schools to inform parents/guardians and students to take note of the new re-opening date and prepare accordingly.”
It may be recalled that the Ministry of the Interior explained that since Eid-ul-Fitr falls on Sunday, March 30, the President, through an Executive Instrument (E.I.), had declared Monday, March 31, and Tuesday, April 1, as public holidays.
