KTU SRC MAKES A SWIFT VIRTUAL LEARNING MOVE TO BENEFIT STUDENTS

KTU SRC HANGS ON A MOVING TRAIN TO ENHANCE ACADEMICS

As part of the measures taken by the government to fight the global pandemic, COVID-19 and limit its spread in the country, institutions that socially gather more than 25 persons were asked to close down by the President on authority which includes Tertiary Institutions. This brought to halt educational activities and discrepancy in the academic calendar. Due to this, the now Educational Minister in his jurisdiction outlined instruments with the Tele Communications (Telcos) to ensure effective flow of academics which has codified the appended signature of  Vodafone-Ghana Telecom  to offer subscribers free access to myriad educational websites and e-learning platforms.

The KTU Students’ Representative Council; partially indebted to academics of students, has clinged to “the moving train” that is serving all tertiary institutions and has beguile the Vice Chancellor, Prof. David K. Essuman, to cogitate agglutinating the virtual learning platform set by the Ministry.

In review of bridging the distance between lecturers and students, it is prudent to ride on this technology to ensure that teaching and learning runs smoothly. Conventional academic activities are expected to be on track after the school’s management completes the necessary protocols to partake in the initiative.

          Students are buoyed up to prioritise and take advantage of this as physical class sessions are barred from happening. Students should therefore resist too much of comfort when studying from home and forsake their beds for few hours each day to create good learning environment for effective studies.
