The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has praised the Ministry of Education for its decision to revert to the single-track academic calendar, starting October 31, 2025, with the launch of the 2025/2026 academic year.
The Ministry said the move will improve the organisation of extracurricular activities and offer families a more predictable school schedule.
GNAT General Secretary, Thomas Tanko Musah, welcomed the change, noting that the double-track system was a temporary response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It was COVID that occasioned what we are doing now. We can’t keep doing emergency things when that state is no more in existence.It is in the right direction that we are working our way back to where we were before Covid came.”
He urged the Education Minister and stakeholders to adopt long-term strategies to sustain the single-track system.
“Let us do things that are sustainable, policies that can stand the test of time, and we will all be fine,” he added.
