Final year SHS students to pay half of third term's fees - GES The Ghana Education Service (GES), has directed Heads of public Senior High Schools (SHS) to charge final year students only half of the third term's fees for the 2017/2018 academic year. This is because the students, who will be sitting for the 2018 WASSCE examinations will spend only seven weeks in school instead of the full 14 weeks. A statement signed by the Director General of the GES, Professor Kwasi Opoku- Amankwa, urged the Regional Directors to ensure strict compliance of the directive. Second cycle schools are set to re-open for the third term on April 16 and will vacate on July 20. The final year students are expected to be in school up till June 1. The statement added that adjustments would be made if students are made to stay through the Easter vacation. GBCONLINE ---DECRYPTED---
