The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that the due date for the submission of study leave returns for the 2020/2021 academic year is 30 October 2020.
This was disclosed in a letter addressed to all Regional Directors of Education on Friday, June 5 2020 and signed by the Director for HRMD Adwoa Van-Vicker on behalf of the Director-General.
