ONLINE TUITIONS MUST BE BOYCOTTED WITH THE FOLLOWING PRESSING CHALLENGES – AMETOR DESIRE WRITES

ONLINE TUITION MUST BE BOYCOTTED, A CONCERN STUDENT TRAINEE WRITES

As we are in the corona situations in the nation and schools have been shut down while teaching and learning is in session through various media has negatively neglected some students from the learning process .

One of the major problems is internet access as obviously in some communities in Ghana has poor network connectivity .So students who stay in such communities cannot partake in the learning process as they cannot get connected to the internet to have access to the learning process.Average number of students is 207 but you will only see 90 attending lectures. This implies that not every student was partaking in this online lectures which seems to be discriminatory against others. Not even all tertiary students are using Android phone. By having android phone is not the solution to the problem but how to purchase data bundles becomes huge burden to us.Network connectivity is also one problem facing students that are been engaged in this online tuition. Most of us are living in remote areas which face telecommunication network problem.
Again, assessment with the online learning should be prohibited.
Because per what we have observed, many students are not partaking in the online tuition due some of the challenges I mentioned above such as poor internet connection, high cost of internet data coupled with the high rate of internet data consumption, so to assess those who are partaking by conducting quizzes and assignments and presentations is a very good thing but it will add another wound to the affected students.
We are not understanding anything too. Physical education and much and dance needs a field work I mean practicals,ICT also needs a practical work which can not be teach online and even Mathematics been taught online. Let us think about this before continuing online learning.
Above all, government must pay our allowances to aid us run a smooth and a successful programme for the semester.
