Students of the University of The Gambia have finally began learning onlin after the coronavirus pandemic forced the discontinuation of face-to-face lessons.
The ministry of higher education last month perfected plans for the university and college to move their classes online as the coronavirus crisis showed no sign of ending.
Students have now since Monday been taking their courses online but there are problems especially the freshman and sophomore students.
“Students have been here standing since morning, some people have problems with registration, some have problems with megabytes , some registered but did not receive their megabytes, some don’t have their sim cards customised and some don’t understand the process so we are also busy in the distribution process,” Ousman Jassey, a student said.
The aspiring student body president added: “The process is so tedious and slow and a large number of students are loosing their contact hours.”
