The country had witnessed over 1 million enrolments, the highest in the nation’s history, because of free SHS policy.
The President announced that from Monday, June 22, the next batch of students, who will be going back to school, was the final year SHSs students and the second year Gold Track students, after fruitful consultations with the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools and the Association of Principals of Technical Institutes, to agree on the modalities for the return of the students.
The President said the final year SHS students would be in school for a total of six weeks, before sitting for the WASSCE exams over a period of two weeks.
