GES Schools Reopening Guidelines for Parents, Teachers, and Students

By | January 13, 2021

The Ghana Education Service, GES, has released a set of guidelines targeting parents, teachers, and students as the planned reopening of schools draw closer.

Schools were closed in March 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the country. The government repeatedly postponed reopening till the president’s last address when he announced a full reopening effective January 15.

What the president said on January 3 about schools reopening:

“So, from 15th January, our children in kindergarten, primary, and Junior High, in both private and public schools, will be back in school. All SHS 1 students will start classes from 10th March, with all students embarking on a single-track academic calendar.

“Their seniors in SHS 2 and SHS 3 will, however, return to school from 18th January. I must stress that SHS 3 students in all schools, like SHS 1 students, will no longer run the double-track system.

“The expansion of infrastructure at the various senior high schools, over the last three years, has brought us to this favorable situation.”
