The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that Friday, March 7, 2025, will be a public holiday for all school-going children across Ghana . This break is aimed at giving students a well-deserved rest after their rigorous preparations for the Independence Anniversary activities.
According to the GES, school will resume on Monday, March 10, 2025. This announcement comes as Ghana prepares to celebrate its 68th Independence Day, which falls on March 6, 2025.
The Independence Day celebration is a significant national event that marks Ghana’s independence from British colonial rule.
Typically, the celebration is held on a grand scale at the Black Star Square or Independence Square, but this year’s event has been scaled down due to economic constraints.
The GES’s decision to declare March 7 a public holiday for schoolchildren is a welcome move, allowing students to recharge and come back to school refreshed.
