Academic calendar for pre-tertiary institutions remains unchanged – GES.
The Ghana Education Service, GES, is reminding all schools and the public that the basic schools' academic calendar released in March has not changed.
According to the calendar, vacation for this second term begins on the 11th of August while the third term will begin from the 13th of September to the 15th of December.
Additionally, the contact hours are from 7 am to 2 pm or 7.30 am to 2.30 pm or 8 am to 3 pm depending on the particular circumstances of the communities. Metropolitan, Municipal and District Directors are to ensure that these guidelines are adhered to.
Meanwhile, the Director General of the GES, Prof. Kwesi Opoku-Amankwa maintains that the recent strike by teacher unions has not impacted the calendar significantly.
He said as part of measures put in place to ensure that the lost time during the strike is recovered, regional and district directors have been instructed to liaise with the various school heads to put some interventions in place for the pupils. According to him, one of the key interventions will be extra classes.
Prof. Opoku-Amankwa indicated that all teachers have resumed fully and urged parents whose wards are yet to return to school to ensure that they go back immediately.

Mills 10th anniversary to be observed
The late President John Evans Atta Mills was elected as the leader of the country on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress in 2008 and subsequently took office in 2009.
However, he died in office after three and a half years into his tenure.
According to Samuel Atta Mills, Mills' younger brother, in a recent interview, the late president suffered a medical condition called sinus infection in 2005 which worsened his health ultimately contributing to his demise.
Ten years after the demise of the late President, the house in which he was born and raised in is in a poor state.
A picture shared by Accra-based Metro TV shows the building almost razed to the ground. It is without a roof and left uninhabited with blocks falling off gradually.
Meanwhile, preparations are underway to mark the 10th anniversary of the demise of the late head of state this Sunday. However, there is currently a public spat between his brother and Koku Anyidoho, a special aide to the late president. The two have publicly disagreed over remodeling of Mills' tomb located at Asomdwee Park, the final resting place of the late president.
