“MoHE has taken note of the opinions of all sectors on student safety following the increase in Covid-19 cases just days before the date of university registration.
“Therefore, the ministry has taken proactive steps to discuss this matter with the airlines,” he said.
In a separate statement, MoHE also said that physical or in-person registration for new students and the return of existing students to all college campuses had been postponed to a date to be announced later following the growing number of positive cases of Covid-19.
He said that the registration of students, as well as the teaching and learning processes, would be done online until further notice.
“The decision to postpone physical or in-person enrollment of students must be made for the safety and well-being of all sectors.
“For students who are already on campus and doing academic activities, they can stay on campus. All IPTs have been asked to make the necessary arrangements for the students, ”the statement said.
The MoHE also proposed that all activities involving mass gatherings on campus be postponed.
