Government has given universities the go-ahead to re-open for the 2014/2015 academic year from August 27, but they must present their preparedness plans to government via the Education Ministry by August 25.
A statement issued in Accra today, signed by the Minister of Education (MoE), Professor Naana Opoku Agyeman, said the decision was taken following a meeting between the Inter-Ministerial Team (IMT) on Ebola and public and private tertiary institutions to assess their preparedness for a possible Ebola virus attack.
