The University Teachers Associated of Ghana (UTAG) has urged the government to fumigate all universities and institutions ahead of school reopening due to the pandemic.
The Acting General Secretary of UTAG, Mark Korankye has asked that the government to provide students and lecturers with Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) to protect them from the deadly coronavirus disease.
This demand from UTAG comes after the President, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo permitted continuing students of some tertiary institutions that couldn’t effectively partake in the online exams and couldn’t complete their studies to return to school on Monday, August 24.
Some of the institutions to reopen are University of Cape Coast (UCC), University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) and some technical universities and colleges.
According to Mr Korankye on News 360 on TV3, if the government fails to execute this exercise and also provide students with the PPEs, the students and lecturers will be exposed to danger.
“The fumigation of lecture halls and residential halls has to be done. Provision of masks has to be [made], so that when academic life resumes nobody will be put at some danger of exposing life.”
