GES announces optional Easter Break for SHS Form 2 Transitional Track students
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has granted an optional Easter break for Form 2 students enrolled in Senior High and Senior High Technical Schools under the Transitional Track system.
The break, scheduled from Thursday, April 17, to Monday, April 21, 2025, aims to accommodate students who wish to celebrate the festive season with their families.
In a directive issued to all Regional Directors of Education on April 11, 2025, the GES emphasized that the break is not compulsory.
“Students who wish to travel home and celebrate the Easter festivities with their families should be given the opportunity to do so,” the statement read. However, students opting to remain on campus will be allowed to do so under proper supervision.
The GES further instructed that all traveling students must return to school by Tuesday, April 22, 2025, to ensure the timely resumption of academic activities.
Regional Directors have been tasked with disseminating the information to affected school heads for implementation.
The statement was signed by Prince C. Agyemang-Duah (Mr.), Director of the Schools and Instructions Division, on behalf of the Acting Director-General of GES.
