Nelson Mandela University (NMU) is preparing to welcome all its students, including first years, for the 2021 academic year starting in March.
After the Covid-19 pandemic forced the temporary closure of education institutions in 2020, the academic year was extended to the end of February.
The shift to online learning, together with safety protocols and limited on-site “mask-to-mask” work, will continue in 2021 when classes start on March 15. NMU spokesperson Zandile Mbabela said in a statement on Wednesday that some programmes would be fully online in 2021, while others would involve a mixture of content teaching online and mask-to mask “experiential learning” on campus or in the workplace.
