UG to begin shift system for 2021/2022 academic year LISTEN
JAN 2, 2021
The University of Ghana (UG) has announced plans to run a shift system of education for the 2021/2022 Academic year.
The university says the large number of students expected to be admitted this year coupling with the COVID-19 safety protocols has accounted for this.
Speaking to Citi News, the Dean of Student Affairs of the university, Godfred A. Bokpin, says this will create a conducive academic environment that will be in compliance with COVID-19 Protocols.
“We have practically lost a semester because the academic calendar usually starts from August to the end of July, but now the school will be reopening in January. So, that requires some sort of alteration to the calendar and due to Covid-19, it might not be prudent to have all the students on campus within that same period.”
