The Ghana Education Service (GES) finally confirms the term 2 vacation date for public schools. In a communiqué posted on its official Facebook page, the managers of pre-tertiary education disclosed that the earlier communication that schools shall vacate on 11th August for term 2 remains the same.

Given that teachers embarked on an industrial strike that lasted for 10 days (4th July to 14th July) and the call for the school days to be extended to make up for the lost contact hours, there was a need for the GES to officially inform teachers of the vacation date.
