The Committee, comprising members of the Ministry, the Ghana Education Service and other stakeholders, are considering modalities that would effectively serve the interests of students, lecturers and their institutions, an official source has told the Ghana News Agency on Thursday.

The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, on Sunday, March 15, 2020 gave a directive that all educational institutions from basic to tertiary, close down their activities until further notice, as part of efforts to contain the outbreak COVID-19.

He also called for the suspension of all public gatherings, including funerals, church services, corporate workshops and meetings for about four weeks.

The directive followed the recording of Ghana's first two cases of the disease on Thursday, March 12.

Meanwhile, some private basic and senior high schools and public universities have already initiated some measures to educate their students.
