The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that Friday, January 23, 2026, will be observed nationwide as a National Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Day for teachers.
In a press release issued on Wednesday, January 15, GES said the decision underscores the importance of continuous professional development in enhancing teaching quality and strengthening the capacity of educators across the country.
According to the Service, the designated CPD Day will provide teachers with dedicated institutional support and uninterrupted time to participate in Phase Two of the Cybersecurity and Data Protection training programme.
The move is aimed at ensuring that all teachers nationwide can fully engage in the training without disruption to instructional activities. To facilitate this, January 23, 2026, has also been declared a holiday for learners.
GES Management has directed all Regional Directors of Education to communicate the information to Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Directors of Education, as well as Heads of Basic Schools and Second Cycle Institutions, and to ensure full compliance with the directive.
The statement concluded by urging all school authorities to cooperate fully in the successful observance of the National CPD Day.
