The Public Relations Officer, Kwasi Kwarteng, has announced that the 2023 academic calendar for KG/Primary and JHS schools remains in force. Any news of a postponement in their date of re-opening should be disregarded.
Kwarteng has made this clarification amidst rumours of a postponement in the re-opening of schools. It is essential to note that basic schools in Ghana have re-opened on the 3rd of April 2023, in line with the academic calendar.
Parents and guardians are urged to ensure that their wards return to school promptly and with all the necessary safety precautions in place.
This development is a significant milestone in the efforts to provide quality education to Ghanaian children.
The government and relevant stakeholders have made concerted efforts to ensure that Ghanaian children continue to receive quality education, regardless of the challenges. It is encouraging to see the dedication and resilience of teachers, parents, and students in ensuring that learning continues.
The government and relevant stakeholders must continue to prioritize education to ensure that no child is left behind.
MoE and GES have not taken any good decision in this holiday issue at all. The best time to reopen is 11/04/23. This will enable both learners and teachers to have some breathing space. I visited 3 basic schools today 3/4/23. Below is the attendance :
