The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced the academic calendar for the 2024/2025 school year for all second cycle institutions, including Senior High Schools (SHS). The new academic year will start on Wednesday, 30th October 2024.
Key Dates:
- Current first-year students will finish their 2023/2024 school year on Monday, 28th October 2024. They will be promoted to Form Two (2) and continue with the new academic year immediately.
- First-year students (both in Single Track and Transitional Schools) will also begin on 30th October 2024.
- Continuing students in Single Track schools will also resume classes on the same date.
Why This Change?
The goal of this calendar is to ensure that schools return to a September start date in the future. This will allow students to write their final WASSCE exams in May/June, starting from 2025.
By following this calendar, students will have a well-organized academic year with clear breaks, and everyone will be on track for exams.
Important Breaks:
- There will be a Christmas break from 20th December 2024 to 2nd January 2025.
- Eligible students will get time off to vote from 5th December to 9th December 2024.
