News Night: Govt Cuts Nursing Admissions by 20% as Teacher and University Strikes Deepen Crisis

Tonight, government directs public and private nursing training institutions to cut admissions by 20%, with strict quotas for each school, as authorities struggle to recruit the growing number of nurses trained annually. We examine the possible impact on Ghana’s health sector. The Catholic Bishops’ Conference also takes issue with Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu’s approach to tackling indiscipline in schools, while teacher unions’ strike widens the academic gap between public and private school students ahead of the BECE and WASSCE. Meanwhile, a university administrators’ strike throws public universities into turmoil, with the University of Ghana considering a postponement of the reopening of the new academic year. Also, the Ministry of Health interdicts a Ghana Health Service regional transport manager over the sale of three vehicles for GH¢13,000 and hands him over to police. At the Public Accounts Committee, members raise concerns over a GH¢10 million car loan debt. Plus, we take a tongue-twister challenge to the streets.
