The Ministry of Education has been instructed by Parliament to postpone the reopening date of December 4 for new SHS students until January 4, 2024.
During Thursday’s session, Speaker Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin emphasized the critical nature of the issue and called for a briefing with the Minister of Education on Monday, December 4.
