This is the updated version of the GES Simplified New SHS Calendar for Senior High Students

The Ghana Education Service (GES)  has published a new calendar for all SHS in the country. Thus Green and Gold Track SHS 1 and 2 students in all double-track and single-track schools.

End of Term Exams

The GES made this known in a May 25th letter to all regional directors of Education.

SHS2 will reopen on 1st August 2021.

A careful look at the original timetable released by the GES has a few difficult-to-understand timelines. One of such is the vacation dates as well well as the end of the academic year which ends in 2022. Since the academic year started in January, many expect it to end within the same year.

  2. Geese , schooling now is like not been in school at all , days spent at home is more than that of which we spend in school , due to this teaching is inefficient and also drowning most students because most can’t afford to organise extra lllessons for themselves . GES please do something , changing the table will help a bit…….
