GES is expected to announce vacation and reopening dates today.
Private schools vacate on 25th July 2024 and reopen on 10th September 2024.
The Ghana Education Service (GES) will announce vacation and reopening dates today, Wednesday, July 24, 2024.
When schools reopen in September 2024, the vacation date will officially end the 2023–2024 academic year, while the reopening date will help usher in the new academic year 2024–2025 into action.
So far, the GES has confirmed that the vacation date for public schools will be July 25, 2024. However, the reopening date for basic schools has been kept tight-lipped. The released calendar for 2024-2024 by the leadership of the Ghana National Association of Private Schools (GNAPS) has indicated what the new school year looks like.
