Volta region: First-year students enrolled under the Single-Track system of Senior High Schools (SHS) and Senior High Technical Schools (SHTS) across the country reported to school on Monday, January 5, 2026, amid excitement and optimism.
According to Ghana News Agency, a visit to the Tsito Senior High Technical School (SHTS) in the Volta Region observed students arriving early on campus with their luggage, accompanied by parents and guardians who had come to ensure a smooth beginning of the academic journey. The atmosphere on campus was lively as students queued for verification and accommodation, exchanging greetings and expressing enthusiasm about beginning secondary education.
Ms. Janet Michiko, a parent of one of the fresh students, told the Ghana News Agency that she personally brought her child to school to ensure his safe arrival and proper settlement. She expressed confidence in the school's management and urged her child to remain focused and disciplined.
Mr. Jerry Awute, another parent, who shared similar sentiments, advised the students to 'marry their books,' obey school rules, and take their studies seriously to grow into responsible citizens who would contribute meaningfully to national development.
