While it will be the commencement of the first semester for second-cycle schools, it will be the first term for basic schools. This is the third year in a row in which the academic year is commencing from January, after it was jolted by the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic from March 2020, during which schools were forced to close down.

A neighbour stood on a stool to mark the wall  when measuring Awuche When the BBC visited Ghana's giant, reported to be the world’s tallest man, Sulemana Abdul Samed, known as Awuche with a measuring tape reading 7ft 4in, said, "I don't have a problem with the way God created me." The plan was to have him lean against a wall, mark it by the crown of his head and then determine his height using the measuring tape. "The way they measure me, I cannot say everything is perfect," Awuche admitted - happy with my plan to get an exact measurement. He turned out to be taller than most of the houses in his neighbourhood, but after a good search we found a suitable building with a high-enough wall. He took off his shoes - large slip-ons specially made from car tyres and nailed together for him by a local handyman as he has been unable to find shoes to fit him. Awuche had intended to get a driving licence but he cannot fit behind a steering wheel One of his neighbours c...
