The management of Koforidua Nursing and Midwifery Training College has dismissed at least six students and about 20 others repeated over poor academic performances.
The affected students are mostly students pursuing Registered Midwifery Course.
The dismissed students are said to have performed below the borderline of 1.5 Cumulative GPA whilst with multiple referred subjects having been given the opportunity to resit the subjects with the same examination questions but still could not pass.
The students asked to repeat are also reported to have a GPA above the minimum threshold but with less than three referred Papers having been given similar opportunity to resit.
Starr News has gathered that management of the college last week met parents of the affected students and explained to them reasons behind the rustication.
This is not the first time some trainee Nurses and Midwives in the College have been dismissed. Last year for instance, management took a similar decision and some of the students reported to have gained admission through protocol slots dragged the Principal to the BNI, National Security and the office of the President over alleged corruption claims.
However, management of the college remained resolute and produced the best midwifery student in the examination conducted by the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

Lol why must should our media report on student dismissal. They should focus on serious issues in the country.
Yes they can sack them or repeat them no problem. But this shouldn't be news. Are the failures of medical doctors, building engineers, laboratory technicians etc. exams published to the general public? This is ***barred word*** reportage from senseless persons both the principal and the ***barred word*** journalist. Then Narelegu nurses should watch out.
I’m not least surprised with this nursing dismissal story. More than 30-40% of all public nursing institutions are admitting students on protocol basis. Education to the nursing colleges if steps are not taken will be by privilege and not by right. I have a clear case of a student refused Admission because of these same ***barred word*** protocol system.
