How to onboard school teachers in Ghana
onboarding school teachers in Ghana: practical steps on one student record and one academic calendar, then a Schoolyi demo with your awkward case.

Ghana still has to do this against BECE, WASSCE, Cambridge. Academic operations align to September and January enrolment surges and Ghana term boundaries on a central holiday-aware calendar.
