Ghana’s public schools are all currently out of session. On Friday, March 24, 2023, the first quarter of the 2023 academic year was formally over in the schools. The second term will begin on April 3, 2023, run through June 15, 2023, and end on June 26, 2023, with the third term beginning on June 27, 2023, running through September 14, 2023.
The 2023 academic calendar has been created so that the current academic year will conclude on September 15, 2023, for both basic schools and SHS.
