The Ghana Education Service has confirmed that the 2025/2026 academic calendar for senior high schools will not change. The announcement brings clarity to students, parents, and school authorities across the country.
GES made this known in an official statement dated January 2. Management said the approved school calendar will be followed as planned.
According to GES, the single-track system will continue to operate in selected senior high schools. This system affects Form One, Form Two, and Form Three students.
Under the single-track system, Form One and Form Two students will report to school on January 5. They will remain in school until February 27.
After this period, Form One and Form Two students will go on break. They will return to school on May 3.
GES stated that the academic year for Form One and Form Two students will end on August 21. This applies to all schools operating under the single-track system.
Form Three students in single-track schools will follow a different schedule. Their academic year will officially end on June 21.
The Ghana Education Service also provided details about transition schools. These schools combine physical classes with online or off-campus learning.
In transition schools, Form One students will not start with in-person classes. They will begin the academic year with online or off-campus learning from January 5 to January 30.
After the off-campus learning period, Form One students will later report to school for face-to-face classes. GES assured that the transition has been carefully planned.
Form Two students in transition schools will also have an off-campus learning period. This will take place from March 16 to April 17.
During this time, Form Two students will study from home or approved learning centers. Schools are expected to guide students throughout the period.
Form Three students in transition schools will not take part in off-campus learning. They will continue with uninterrupted in-person teaching until the end of their academic year.
GES explained that keeping Form Three students in school is important. It will help them prepare adequately for their final examinations.
To support students during off-campus learning, GES has introduced several measures. These measures are meant to ensure effective teaching and learning.
Students will have free access to approved curriculum materials online. These materials can be found on curriculumresources.edu.gh.
GES also announced daily live lessons for students. The lessons will be shown on MoE TV through the Multi TV platform.
In addition, schools with the required systems will use Learning Management Systems. These platforms will help teachers share lessons and assignments.
GES encouraged students to make good use of these learning resources. Parents are also expected to support students at home.
Parents and guardians have been advised to carefully take note of the academic calendar. They should ensure that students report to school on the right dates.
GES further advised parents to provide all required learning materials. Students are also expected to carry the necessary documents when reporting to school.
The Ghana Education Service said the unchanged calendar will help schools plan better. It will also promote stability in the academic year.
Management believes the arrangements will improve learning outcomes. GES assured the public of its commitment to quality education.
The Service urged all stakeholders to cooperate fully. GES said teamwork is key to a successful academic year.
