General News of Monday, 11 November 2019Source: www.ghanaweb.comFree SHS calendar in a mess, teachers stranded - Africa Education WatchExecutive Director of Africa Education Watch, Kofi AsareThe existence of a definitive academic calendar is a basic pre-requisite for an efficient education system. Though students are halfway into the first semester, calendar for the second term remains uncertain, Executive Director of Africa Education Watch, Kofi Asare has said. These erratic changes in the double-track academic calendar have made it difficult for headteachers, teachers, students, and parents to plan ahead and also cater for their responsibilities respectively. It would be recalled that there has been inconsistency in the reopening dates of students enjoying Free SHS lately. Meanwhile, they are giving Ghana Education Service a two-week ultimatum to publish the next academic calendar to help stakeholders prepare for it.
