Despite requests to reschedule, Senior High School (SHS) first-year students across the country are expected to report to their respective schools today.
Parental groups, teacher unions, and other pertinent parties have urged the Ghana Education Service (GES) to reevaluate the reporting, but their requests have not been answered.
Amidst the limited time for parents to prepare, Parliament intervened and urged the Education Ministry to reschedule the date from Monday, December 4 to the first week of January.
