This announcement, dated November 29, 2024, aims to facilitate participation in the upcoming general elections scheduled for December 7, 2024.
In a letter signed by Dr. Kwabena Bempah Tandoh, the Deputy Director-General for Quality and Assurance, the GES has instructed that all second-cycle schools should close on Thursday, December 5, 2024.
