The Ghana Education Service has extended instructional hours at the public school level to 8 hours a day.
This takes effect on Monday 23rd August 2021 according to a letter sighted by Ghanaeducation.org and signed by the New Juabeng Municipal Director of Ghana Education Service (GES), Victor deGradt-Etsison.
The said letter was addressed to all Heads of public schools indicating that schools will now start classes at 8:00 hours GMT and close at 15.00 hours.
This new directive implies public basic schools will now spend 7 hours in school which will help ensure more contact hours and lessons per day are attained.
However, prior to this notice, most schools in the cities increased the instructional hours depending on their peculiar needs to ensure learners benefit in the long run.
Notwithstanding the paragraphs above, all Heads of schools are to continue to ensure the strict observance of the COVID-19 Protocols in their schools.
