The Ghana Education Service (GES) announced had that all Senior High Schools (SHS), especially, final year students across the country, were to resume academic activities on January 5.
Head of the Service’s PR Unit, Cassandra Twum Ampofo, had signed a release explaining that the call for the students to return earlier than the agreed date before the vacations is a positive move.
According to Cassandra, the students, especially those in their final year need to adequately prepare for their upcoming WASSCE exams.
