Date for reopening has not changed: Fake! Please disregard- GES reacts
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has reacted to a purported change in the reopening date for Senior High School students who went on a short break for the Christmas and New Year festivities.
In a post on Facebook, the GES indicates that the purported change in the reopening date from 3rd to 9th January was fake and should be disregarded.
Officially, SHS 1 students are expected to report to school on Tuesday, 3rd January 2024.
