With the release of the Free SHS Full 2023-2024 Academic Calendar, the road map for the academic year is clear. It will assist schools, parents, and teachers to effectively plan their lives. However, it is hoped that the GES will not alter the calendar after other stakeholders have used it to plan their lives.
