Kyambogo University recently registered eight Covid-19 positive cases. Six of the cases were detected from students while two are administrative staff. Reuben Twinomujuni, the university senior public relations officer, says that following the outbreak of Covid-19 at the university, management decided to cancel physical learning and resort to online teaching.
However, the decision was resisted by a section of students and the guild leadership who claim that many of their colleagues don’t have laptops and smartphones while others cannot afford internet data.
Edwin Tumusiime, the personal assistant to the guild president, says the student leadership has on several times written to management asking them to either reconsider the decision or engage students on how they could smoothly migrate to online lectures in vain.
