Techiman Krobo Nursing Training College Closure Announced by Ministry of Health
The Ministry of Health has announced the temporary closure of the Techiman Krobo Nursing Training College with immediate effect following student unrest and what it describes as a breakdown in discipline and adherence to the institution’s rules and regulations.
In a press release issued on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, the Ministry said the decision was taken after several unsuccessful attempts to restore peace and normalcy on campus.
According to the statement, multiple meetings, counselling sessions, and appeals were held with students by various stakeholders, including the Regional Security Council and the Ministry of Health, to encourage dialogue and bring an end to the disturbances.
However, the Ministry said some students continued to engage in actions that disrupted academic activities and threatened the peace, safety, and orderly administration of the college.
The Ministry explained that the temporary closure is intended to restore calm, protect lives and property, and allow the appropriate authorities to assess the situation before determining the conditions under which the college can safely reopen.
As part of the directive, all students have been instructed to vacate the campus peacefully and return to their homes by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 29, 2026. Parents and guardians have also been advised to make the necessary arrangements to receive their wards.
The Ministry assured students, parents, staff, and the public that every effort would be made to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.
It further noted that information regarding the reopening of the institution would be communicated through official channels once the necessary assessments have been completed.
The statement concluded by expressing appreciation to all stakeholders for their understanding, cooperation, and support as authorities work to restore a safe, peaceful, and disciplined learning environment at the institution.
The press release was signed by Tony Goodman, Head of Health Training Institutions, on behalf of the Ministry of Health.
