Students of the Sefwi Wiawso Nursing and Midwifery College (NMTC-SW) are planning a peaceful demonstration over the possible transfer of their Principal.
They say the Principal has played a key role in the school’s development and progress.
Under her leadership, roads on campus have been tarred, the midwifery block is 80% complete, plans are in place to introduce a degree programme next academic year, and new hostel facilities are under construction.
The students fear the transfer will disrupt the momentum of growth and negatively affect academic activities.
They are appealing to authorities to reconsider the decision in the interest of the student body.
In their press release dated April 15, the students at NMTC-SW, are requesting that the Minister of Health should reconsider this decision and allow their Principal to continue leading the institution.
They contended that in just six months, their Principal has demonstrated exceptional leadership and vision, transforming the school in numerous ways.
Some of the notable achievement includes:
* Clearing the huge refuse that has been a major problem in our school, improving the overall environment and hygiene.
