STILL NO DATE FOR SCHOOL REOPENING.

Education Minister, Dr. Mattew Opoku Prempeh has disclosed government’s plans for the education sector during Covid-19.

Speaking on 3 FM, honorable Matthew Prempeh said that All education has moved on to distance learning and that Covid-19 has brought education to the 21st century level.

He added that The GES, Ministry of Education has a standing committee to come out with ideas and other strategies to make sure our education doesn’t come to a halt because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The GES intends to roll out radio, tv & online programs virtually from KG to SHS so that education can continue.

Addressing the issue on when exactly the restrictions on Schools will be eased he stressed that the government is slowly easing restrictions but the bans are still extended. I don’t see any time soon for the ban on schools to be lifted.

He added that Opening schools will bring back a lot of movement into the country. Many are suggesting we open schools in phases. We’ll see how we can manage that. A lot of planning is going on.

Hon. Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, the deputy minister of Education speaking on the issue at a sister station commended individuals who are using innovative ways to help our students who are in the house now.

He added that When school resumes lectures are going to pick up from where we left off and that lessons taught on the distance education platforms will have no bearing on actual classroom work.
