GES trains "Back-to-School" taskforce Cross-section of participants The Ghana Education Service (GES) has instituted measures, including the training of a taskforce, to ensure pre-tertiary school children, particularly girls, return to school on resumption. The training of the "Back-to-School" taskforce at Wchiau in the Wa West District on Monday formed part of a "Back-to-School Advocacy Campaign" being spearheaded by the Girls' Education Unit of the GES with support from UNICEF. The training was also to disseminate the "Guidelines for Prevention of Pregnancy among School Girls and Facilitation of Re-entry into School after Childbirth." Alhaji Dasaana N. S. Adamu, the Upper West Regional Secretary of the Ghana National Association of Privates Schools, noted that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the country could increase the number of school dropouts if steps were not taken to counter its impact.
