Teaching and Learning Report
2022 saw the full return to contact teaching across the faculties for the first time since the deep disruptions of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. For two years, university students had studied remotely or on a low-density campus, and incoming first-year students had also experienced disrupted and mostly noncontact high schooling for two years prior to entering higher education. All staff were affected – particularly in terms of workload and its effects on their mental health (as noted in the 2021 UCT Teaching and Learning Report).
