The Committee on Education and Sports has called for thorough research before the phasing out of certificate and diploma courses in nursing.
This recommendation was made in a report of the committee presented to the House on Yesterday , 02 April 2024 by Hon. Phillips Lokwang.
“The Ministry of Education should have considered the issue of reviewing the curriculum for the comprehensive nursing courses with a view of enriching it”, Lokwang said.
He emphasized the need for the government to
develop a policy guiding the phase-out process within the education and sports
sub-programme.
Aringa North MP, Hon. Godfrey Onzima stressed the importance of not rushing to
phase out such programmes calling for assessment of the validity,
viability and relevance before any decision is made.
The Minister of State for Higher Education,
Hon.John Chrysistom Muyingosaid the government halted recruitment and training
of comprehensive nursing graduates in 2020.
He however, indicated that a review of the decision will be conducted.
