+ The National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has observed that the re-opening of schools in January 2021 would be impossible if the rising new infections of COVID-19 in the country are not brought under control. The Commission appealed to the public to adhere to the COVID-19 health safety protocols to stem the spread of the pandemic. Mr Eric Adu, the Acting Ahafo Regional Director of the NCCE, indicated the government was worried about the ‘fate of our school children’ in the house for several months because of the closure of schools due to the COVID-19. “The promise and assurance of the government to re-open schools in January cannot be fulfilled if the positive cases continue to surge,” Mr Adu noted, at a COVID-19 education forum, held at Bomaa in the Tano North Municipality of the Ahafo Region.
