Shortening the first term of the academic calendar by four weeks will indeed have an impact on the total number of weeks that students will spend in school during that term. Going from 15 to 11 weeks for the first school term is a significant reduction, and this may impact the pace at which teachers are able to cover the curriculum and the amount of material that students are able to learn.

In addition to the shorter duration of the term, this change may also have an impact on the timing and content of assessments and exams, as well as on extracurricular activities and school events. It is important for all stakeholders in the education sector, including students, parents, and teachers, to prepare for the shorter term and to adjust their schedules and expectations accordingly. This may involve revising lesson plans, studying more efficiently, and making the most of the time that is available.

Shortening the first term of the academic calendar by four weeks may also have an impact on the timing and duration of holidays. With the first term vacation now starting on 25th March, 2023 instead of the originally scheduled date of 21st April 2023, the holiday period will be reduced by four weeks. This may impact the ability of students and families to plan and enjoy their holiday activities, especially if they were expecting a longer break.

Furthermore, with the holiday period ending just 10 days before the start of the second school term, this may create additional pressure for students and teachers to prepare for the new term. It is important for students, parents, and teachers to plan ahead and make the most of the available time during the holiday period to rest, recharge, and prepare for the next term. Additionally, schools and the Ghana Education Service should provide adequate support and resources to help students and teachers transition smoothly into the new term.

It appears that the new academic calendar introduced by the Ghana Education Service is designed to facilitate a return to the old system where a new academic year begins in the month of September. The reasons for this change are not entirely clear, but it may be to align the academic calendar with international standards and to provide more consistency and predictability for students, parents, and teachers.

Schools and the Ghana Education Service should also provide clear and timely communication to ensure that everyone is aware of any changes and how they may be affected.
