The management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) has extended the reopening date for SHS 1 students to Thursday, 18th March 2021 through to Sunday, 21st March 2021.
This, they said, is to enable teachers, parents, and students prepare for the academic year.
“This is to enable the students and parents have ample time to prepare for school and School Management also prepare to receive them. Management has also noted that some students have not yet enrolled and the extension will give these students the opportunity to do so as well”, they said in a press statement dated 7th March 2021.
