Mid-Term Break Schedule
The announcement indicates that the break applies to all public basic schools under the Ghana Education Service.
Mid-Term Break Dates:
- Start Date: Monday, June 8, 2026
- End Date: Tuesday, June 9, 2026

The break forms part of the academic calendar and is intended to provide both learners and teachers with a short period of rest during the term.
What Parents and Guardians Should Know
Parents and guardians are encouraged to take note of the dates and make the necessary arrangements for their children during the two-day break.
School authorities are also expected to communicate any additional information regarding academic activities scheduled before or after the break.
Importance of the Mid-Term Break
Educational experts have often highlighted the importance of mid-term breaks in promoting the well-being of learners and teachers. Such breaks help reduce fatigue, improve concentration levels, and provide an opportunity for families to spend time together before academic work resumes.
GES has therefore urged all stakeholders to adhere to the academic calendar and ensure a smooth return to school after the break.
