High level of failure at Nursing school to be addressed shortly

Jun 01, 2015 News

– Minister Norton

Minister of Public Health, Dr. George Norton has committed that the A Partnership for National Unity+ Alliance for Change Government will address issues that are causing the high level of failure at the Georgetown Nursing School.
While expressing great concern regarding the high failure rate, Minister Norton noted that, “we will do everything that is possible to better the pass rate that we have, and also to increase the quality of the nursing profession that we’re now having here.”
He said that the failure is as a result of multiple factors, noting that more efforts need to be made to ensure technology is available to the students.
“… we are also concerned about the number of lecturers we have, and the quality. Teaching is a dynamic process, where you have to do your refresher courses, you have to change concepts regularly and so on,” the Minister explained.
With the changing world of medicine, he said, one cannot expect that the same tutors will be doing the same courses for the past decade, and would achieve the kind of end product that will help to better the health situation in Guyana. (gina)
