Principal of Dormaa Presbyterian Nursing and Midwifery Training College, Dr. Charles Agyeman-Prempeh, has advised the public to dismiss reports of 80 students being dismissed due to academic failure.

Reports claimed that over 80 students were expelled from the Presbyterian Nursing and Midwifery Training College in Dormaa, Ahenkroh, for failing to meet academic standards. However, Dr. Charles Agyeman-Prempeh clarified that no such decision had been made at his institution.

He explained that the students in question were actually asked to repeat due to not meeting the cumulative requirement of 1.0 grade points and could not progress until this academic standard was achieved.

“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.
