June 1 new tentative date for return to UG campuses

Dear Editor,

Please permit a small clarification on  recent stories which suggest  that May 30 is a hard set date for the return of staff and students of  UG to physical face to face mode of instruction. In fact June 1, 2020 is the new tentative date for University of Guyana staff and students to return to the physical campuses (Turkeyen and Tain) and IDCE should conditions permit. 

 The Transitional Management Committee (TMC) had originally proposed  that (UG staff and students) could return to the physical campuses on May 6, 2020, but that date has since  been extended to June 1, 2020, tentatively. The return to both campuses(Turkeyen and Tain) is pending observation and contingent upon local  and global conditions with nCov19.

 Essential staff of the University remain on call and all others (staff and students) will continue to work online as far as possible. 

We would be grateful for your assistance in clarifying the above information to the public. 

Yours faithfully,

Leisa Somrah

Public Relations Officer (ag)
