Techiman-Krobo Nursing Training principal to remain at post despite calls for her removal

The Ministry's spokesperson, Tony Goodman, has decided to retain the principal of the Techiman-Krobo Nursing Training College despite calls for her dismissal. This decision stems from a committee established to investigate the issues that led to months of disruption at the school. Mr. Goodman, speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, stated that although the committee acknowledged concerns about the principal's management style, it did not deem her removal appropriate.

The Krobohene, a member of the committee, emphasized his principled stance and his disapproval of any wrongdoing or misconduct. While the principal was found to have at times been overly strict with students, the committee's broader findings revealed troubling aspects of the school's state, necessitating measures to restore discipline.

Among the issues uncovered was an allegation of students paying for grades to advance their education, highlighting the need for stronger systems and discipline at the institution. The Health Minister would have acted if the committee had found the principal unfit for her role, but there was no such conclusion. The principal's continued tenure follows a student protest over the college's administration and management, leading to committee formation by the Health Ministry.
