The Ghana Education Service (GES) has officially declared a mid-term break for all basic schools across the country. This short respite is scheduled for March 9th to 10th, 2026, providing students, teachers, and staff with a brief pause amid the academic term.
Why the Break Matters
In a fast-paced school year, mid-term breaks like this one offer essential downtime. For basic school students—from kindergarten to junior high—this two-day interval can help recharge energies, reduce stress, and improve focus for the remainder of the semester. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use this time for family activities, light revision, or simply rest, ensuring children return refreshed.
The announcement, shared via GES’s official channels including their website (ges.gov.gh) and social media handles like @gheduservice on X (formerly Twitter), emphasizes the importance of this break for the well-being of young learners. It’s a reminder of GES’s commitment to balancing education with holistic development.
