The Education Service said this in a letter signed by the Director for HRMD Adwoa Van-Vicker on behalf of the Director-General, Professor Kwasi Opoku Amankwa to all Regional Directors of Education on Friday, June 5, 2020.

The Management of the Ghana Education Service in the letter stated “You are expected to submit, 2020/2021 study leave returns by October 30, 2020, to the Director-General.
