The Ghana Education Service (GES) has directed all first-year Senior High School (SHS) students nationwide to report to school on Saturday, October 18, 2025.

The directive, which covers both single-track and transitional schools, was outlined in a circular issued to Regional Directors of Education following the release of the 2025/2026 academic calendar.

The circular detailed term dates, holidays, and special arrangements to guide schools in ensuring a smooth academic year.

Regional Directors have been instructed to disseminate the calendar to heads of second-cycle institutions and enforce strict compliance, while also providing monitoring and support to guarantee uniformity across schools.

“The Service counts on your usual cooperation to ensure effective teaching and learning in our institutions for the 2025/2026 academic year,” the statement added.
