The Ghana Education Service (GES) has pushed back the resumption date for senior high school students currently on mid-term holidays.
The students were to return to school on Tuesday, November 12, but the GES said it has extended the date by three more days.
“Students are expected to return over the weekend [November 15, 2019] to ensure that full academic work resumes on Monday, November 18 2019,” the GES said in a statement to all regional directors of education in the country.

The directive, the GES said, “equally applies to all SHS 1 and 2 students on the Gold Track who were expected to report to school on November 12”.
It explained that the decision to extend the mid-term holidays followed a request made by the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS).
