The commissioner said the students of model colleges and upgraded schools are to resume in batches, noting that the SS2 students seeking placement into SS3 classes and who are accommodated at the schools’ boarding facilities are expected to resume on Sunday, September 19.
She said revision for this class will run from 20th to 26th September while promotion examination to SS3 class will start from 27th September to 8th October, 2021.
The commissioner said the newly admitted JSS1 students into model colleges are to resume on Saturday, October 2 for a one-week orientation programme, which she added will intimate them on the secondary school structure and modalities.
Other returning students in JSS 2, JSS3, SS1 and the newly transited SS2 in the various model colleges and upgraded schools are to resume on Saturday, October 9 while classes for these set of students will begin on Monday, October 11, 2021.
She revealed that the adoption of staggered resumption for model colleges and upgraded schools was due to the presence of 2020/2021 SS3 students currently writing the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) which she said will end on October 6.
The commissioner appealed to parents to abide by the new development for a smooth academic session, while calling on pupils and students to take their academics more seriously and devote more time to their studies.
