The Northern Caribbean University (NCU) is reporting that teaching and learning at the institution will continue to be held virtually in the next academic year, commencing September.

However, face-to-face instructions will be provided on a phased basis to students who are pursuing courses with a clinical component or physical contact requirements.

These include courses in health-related programmes such as nursing, dental hygiene, and medical technology, among others.

NCU suspended face-to-face instructions amid the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.
