The Ghana Education Service has suspended this year’s Independence Day Parade as well as all other activities that require the involvement of students and staff of the service.
A letter sent to all regional directors of the Ghana Education Service and seen by A1 Radio said the decision is a response to a letter dated 11th February 2021 from the Office of the Chief of Staff at the Office of H.E. the President of the Republic asking for the suspension of this year’s 6th March celebration.
The Chief of Staff’s letter asking for the suspension may have been prompted by President Akufo-Addo’s indefinite ban on all social gatherings across the country, as part of measures to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the country.
The letter said: “Consequently, Management of the Ghana Education Service wishes to inform all Regions that the 64th Independence Anniversary Parade on the 6th March, 2021 has been suspended forthwith across the country. All Regional Directors are therefore entreated to bring this important directive to the notice of Metropolitan/Municipal/District Education Directors and Heads of all Institutions under their jurisdiction for strict compliance.”
