Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 46699, member: 636"] Ghana's Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu told school officials to bring back the academic calendar used before the pandemic. He asked the Ghana Education Service and West African Examinations Council to work together on this change. The minister wants both groups to move quickly on adjusting school year dates and test schedules. Officials must coordinate their efforts to make the switch happen soon. This order aims to fix problems caused by COVID-19 disruptions. The pandemic forced Ghana to change when schools operated and students took exams. Teachers had to adjust their lesson plans around new schedules during the health crisis. Students faced different vacation periods and testing dates than before. These temporary changes created confusion for families and educators across the country. The shifts made planning difficult for everyone involved. Iddrisu believes returning to the old system will help schools run better. He thinks the original calendar will make things more predictable for students and their families. Teachers will benefit from having steady schedules they can count on each year. Parents can plan family activities around known school dates again. The minister expects this change to reduce uncertainty about academic planning. The Education Ministry plans to work with education groups during this transition period. Officials want to make sure the switch happens without major problems. They will talk with teachers, parents and school leaders about the new timeline. The ministry promises to share details about the updated calendar when ready. School communities will receive information about changes before they take effect. [/QUOTE]
