The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced an optional Easter break for Form 2 students in Senior High and Senior High Technical Schools operating under the Transitional Track system.
According to a statement issued to all Regional Directors of Education on April 11, 2025, the break will begin on Thursday, April 17, and end on Monday, April 21, 2025.
“Students who wish to travel home and celebrate the Easter festivities with their families should be given the opportunity to do so,” the statement said.
GES clarified that the break is not mandatory. Students who choose to remain on campus will be permitted to do so under appropriate supervision.
“All students who will travel home are expected to return to school on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, to resume academic activities promptly,” GES added.
The move is intended to allow flexibility for students and families during the Easter period while ensuring that academic schedules are not disrupted.
