Principal of Dormaa Presbyterian Nursing and Midwifery Training College, Dr. Charles Agyeman-Prempeh, has advised the public to dismiss reports suggesting that 80 students were expelled for academic failure.

Contrary to claims that the Presbyterian Nursing and Midwifery Training College in Dormaa, Ahenkroh, expelled over 80 students due to academic shortcomings, Dr. Charles Agyeman-Prempeh clarified that no such decision has been made at his institution.

He explained that the students in question were instead placed on repeat status because they couldn't progress until they met the cumulative requirement of 1.0 grade points.

“The school has rules, and before you come to the school, you are told that before you progress further, you need a cumulative grade point, and in the university, it is 1.0, and if you get below that, it means you can’t progress until you meet that requirement.”

“That is what we have done. We have repeated students who couldn’t meet the requirement, but the school hasn’t sacked anyone for meeting the requirements, so that report should be disregarded,” he said on Rainbow Radio Accra.
