President John Mahama recently reiterated government’s decision to restore the allowances of nursing trainees.

He said a technical committee set up to review allowances for nursing trainees has recommended payment of an abated allowance with a possibility to migrate them onto the Students Loan Scheme.

However, the scrapping was met with much resistance from some students who rely on the allowances to support themselves in school.
