Description

The COVID19 pandemic disrupted every system globally. Education delivery in emerging economies was hardest hit due to underdeveloped support systems and infrastructural deficits. The Government of Ghana innovated several interventions to implement emergency remote teaching and learning (ERTL). The presentation focuses on specific interventions rolled out by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission in Colleges of Education. This intervention relied on the provision of new and improvement of existing Wi-Fi Connectivity in the colleges. This was also augmented with the distribution of smart mobile handsets. The intervention was aimed at leaving no student behind and dubbed “Emergency Remote Teaching and Learning”.
