The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) says it is
disappointed in the Ministry of Education’s claim that the Ebola disease is the
reason for its directive asking tertiary institutions to delay re-opening. The
Union is of the opinion that the Ministry cannot cite preparations for a
possible Ebola outbreak as the reason for its directive since the international
students are already on campus. The Education Ministry has directed all
tertiary institutions to indefinitely suspend the re-opening of schools as steps are being taken by the Health Ministry and
other stakeholders to prevent an outbreak of the Ebola disease in Ghana. The
directive was given following the large number of international students who
are pursuing various degree programmes in tertiary schools in Ghana. With the
outbreak of the Ebola disease in some West African states, the government is
instituting measures to protect Ghanaians from contracting the disease. Some of
the measures include the three-month ban of
international conferences in the country and the screening of travellers coming into
Ghana.
