The head of student welfare at the University of Ghana, Prof. Rosina Kyeremanten, has stated that the temporary halt on group activities does not cover classroom sessions.
During an interview on the Citi Breakfast Show on Thursday, June 26, she clarified that teaching sessions are exempt from the restriction since they don’t qualify as recreational assemblies under the institution’s wellness protocols.
Classroom sessions don’t fall under social events,” she stressed.
“In a lecture hall, students aren’t yelling and causing chaos. But at something like a concert or artist performance, you’ll see crowds cheering, jumping around, and close contact—that’s far riskier than a controlled academic setting.
She explained that classroom settings are far more orderly and regulated than high-energy functions like concerts, dorm festivities, and similar social activities covered by the ban.
“During lectures, it’s mostly the instructor speaking—even if some students chat, it’s nothing like the noise and chaos of a live show,” she continued.
Prof. Kyeremanteng reassured students and staff that precautions would be strictly enforced for in-person classes.
“We’ll mandate mask-wearing in lecture halls and enforce spacing between attendees wherever feasible,” she pledged.
