An Old Student of TASHS, Julius Akpeh honoured among CFA Charterholders

Julius Akpe, an old student of Tanyigbe Senior High School was honoured to be recognised among the 2021 CFA Charterholders at the Maiden Forecast Dinner organised by the CFA society Ghana at Accra City Hotel.

The CFA exams is globally considered as one of the most difficult finance exams and so passing it and obtaining the right to use the CFA designation is a prestige.

From his Facebook wall, he wrote, "I have always nursed the desire to educate and inform the public on key economic developments in the country that notably affect investor confidence, business growth and the economic wellbeing of the ordinary Ghanaian.

I will use this platform to achieve these objectives and also, from time to time, provide professional insights (not to be taken as investment advice) into the local and international financial markets and the implications for our economy."

Government Abandons 'Rejected' Semester System: Reverts to Three Terms for KG - JHS

The government has gone back on its earlier directive for basic schools to run a semester-based academic calendar.

It made the announcement in a statement on Friday, January 21, 2022.

The directive for basic schools including Kindergarten, and Junior High School to change the trimester-based calendar to a semester-based one last week, was received with controversy with many teacher unions kicking against it.

Many of them were unenthused that the government had not engaged them on such a major switch although the government insisted that it had held extensive consultations with them.

Some of the education workers vowed to resist the directive and called for its withdrawal.

After hesitating initially, the government has now decided to reverse the decision.

The Ministry of Education in the statement indicated that the decision was taken after engagements with various education stakeholders and the conclusion was to reinstate the trimester system.

“The Minister has received representation from a section of the public and key educational stakeholders to reinstate the Trimester system… Any further consultation on the issue, the Honourable Minister for Education has directed that the calendar for Kindergarten to Junior High School for the current academic year should revert to the Trimester system,” the statement said.

Consequently, the first term starts on January 18 to 14th April, 2022.

The second term commences 10th May and ends on 18th August, 2022, while the third term will span 13th September to 22nd December, 2022.
