GES rejects CHASS’s request for postponement, SHSs to reopen January 3

Despite CHASS’s plea to postpone the reopening, the Ghana Education Service (GES) claims the Senior High School reopening date has not changed.

The Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) recently cautioned that the reopening process would be hampered if the financial difficulties affecting the second-cycle schools are not resolved by January 3, 2025.

In a statement released just days ago, it went on to strongly caution against the reopening of schools.

Nonetheless, nothing has changed, according to a statement released by the Ghana Education Service (GES) on Thursday, January 2, one day prior to the reopening date. According to the statement, the academic calendar for 2024–2025 will go on as planned.

The GES informed parents, students, staff, and the public at large that the academic schedule has not changed.

Primary and junior high school students are scheduled to begin studies on January 8, 2025, while senior high school (SHS) students are anticipated to return on January 3, 2025, according to the official announcement.

The administration of GES also stated that they are actively working with the Ministry of Education to resolve the issues brought up by the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) management.

According to the GES, it is striving for a prompt resolution of these issues in order to guarantee a seamless start to the school year.

It called on all parties involved to remember these crucial dates and make the required preparations in order to get ready for the start of the upcoming school year.

The statement underlined the significance of following the schedule in order to guarantee a successful reopening of schools nationwide.
