As the academic calendar progresses, many students across Ghana’s Colleges of Education are seeking clarity on the reopening dates for the second semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. ThinkofGh has conducted in-depth research to provide the most accurate and current updates regarding this matter.
UCC-Affiliated Colleges: Awaiting Official Reopening Dates
According to our findings, Colleges of Education affiliated with the University of Cape Coast (UCC) were the only institutions that vacated as early as 18th April 2025. However, there has been no official communication from any of these UCC-affiliated colleges regarding the exact date for reopening. While there is speculation that these institutions may resume earlier than others, this remains unconfirmed pending an official notice.
Other Universities’ Affiliates: June 16 Reopening Confirmed
In contrast, some Colleges of Education affiliated with universities other than UCC officially vacated on 2nd May 2025. These institutions have already begun informing their students to prepare to return on 16th June 2025 for the start of the second semester. This firm date provides some level of certainty for these students as they make plans to resume.
Understanding the UCC Calendar and Its Implications
It’s important to note that the academic calendar released for UCC-affiliated Colleges of Education pertains only to the first semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. This detail is clearly stated in the calendar header. As such, dates for the second semester are yet to be officially communicated.
Students and stakeholders should also understand that the academic calendar is tentative. It is subject to adjustments based on national developments, administrative decisions, and consultations with key stakeholders, including PRINCOF, GTEC, and others.
