The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced a nationwide mid-term break for all basic schools, scheduled from Friday, October 31 to Monday, November 3, 2025.

In a statement signed by Daniel Fenyi, the GES Public Relations Officer, the Service confirmed that there will be no classes for both teachers and pupils during the period, as the break is already captured in the current academic calendar.

“Basic schools will, for the first time, observe a mid-term break on Friday, October 31, and Monday, November 3, as already reflected in the academic calendar,” the statement read.

The GES explained that the short recess is designed to allow teachers and learners to rest and rejuvenate ahead of the final stretch of the term.

The directive applies to all public and private basic schools operating under the Ghana Education Service.
