“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 disclosed that the endorsement 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).

She stressed further that “The examination will end on October 6 and the fact that these schools cannot accommodate seven sets in the boarding system.” She equally appealed to parents to abide by the new development for a smooth academic session and charged the students to take their academics seriously and ensure they are committed to it.
