The document requests information about academics who require an extension of their postgraduate studies due to issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides a table to collect details such as the academic's name, date of joining the university, current position, postgraduate qualification details, and any other comments. The information must be submitted to the Ministry of Education by February 14, 2023 to grant eligible academics an additional three years to complete their postgraduate studies within the stipulated eight-year period.

1. Academics affected by COVID-19-related issues for the completion of postgraduate studies within the stipulated 08-year period of time, which
may have resulted in termination or possible termination in the future, will be granted three additional years by the ministry of education. We
must submit the information to the Ministry of Education by Tuesday, February 14, 2023. Please fill out the following table for each and every
person who requires this extension and return it to me by 12 noon on February 14, 2023.
