Call students back to Campus for Lessons while observing Social Distancing Protocol – TTAG to NCTE

The leadership of the Teacher Trainees Association of Ghana (TTAG) has called on the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) and other stakeholders, to allow students who could not access all platforms being suggested, be brought back to campus and to observe all social distancing protocols so that they can be taught by selected tutors.

The leadership of the Association, in a statement released by the Association on April 14, 2020., suggested to the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) that with the issue regarding how to get all students involved equally,  learning experiences should be created to cater for all spectrum of students.

The trainees, in a meeting with the leadership of the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) on April 8, 2020, to discuss the virtual learning platform to be rolled out in the Colleges of Education amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic that brought education to its knees across the globe with Ghana, not an exception.

With the High Cost of data bundles, the TTAG suggested, that the NCTE and other stakeholders should meet with the telecommunication networks to subsidize the cost of data, or zero-rate it for educational materials to be easily accessible.

The trainees’ leadership also suggested that all materials meant for their lessons should be downloadable to cut cost.
