13th MATRICULATION OF THE KETA NURSING AND MIDWIFERY SCHOOL

Keta nursing and midwifery school was established in November 13, 2006. However, it started in said year as a School to train Health Assistant with a student population of 55.


 And as at today. Nine batches of the Health Assistants have been trained by the school. 


 In August 2014, the school started a Diploma course in general nursing, of which the first batch wrote their licensure exams in July- August 2017.


 In the year 2017, the institution had admited about 200 and more students for various programmes, which include Post-NAC as well as the NAB program. The induction ceremony took place at the institution's new site designated for the school's expansion project.


 The matriculation ceremony was witnessed by the school principal, the Executive of the school as well as the tutors and the family of matriculants. 


 The institution currently has two campuses which is the old site where the keta general hospital is and the new site where the school held the matriculation ceremony will turn to be permanent school campus. 


Keta nursing and midwifery school as an institution has its own challenges. The major challenge of the school is to do with hostel facilities for students who are from afar. The school is established as a community school and since the day of its inception, it has run as a day school. This arrangement makes it very difficult for the tutors and the school as a whole to check the student body. 


 The municipal assembly as well as KOICA has donated buildings materials and land to the school. The school now has a big land that more hostels and classroom blocks can be build on it. 


 A hostel accommodation was constructed and left unfinished since 2007 and has being abandoned till date, which the school has being asking for help to get it completed.

Speaking to Mrs charity Kartey, the school Principal, she added that moving forward, she prays that some additional programs will be added to the current programs that the school is running and also get accreditation to run more programs. Currently the school is affiliated to Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi

Happy International Leo Day!

Dear Leos and Lions: On December 5, 1957, Lions Jim Graver and William Ernst created the world’s first Leo club in Pennsylvania, USA. These Lions recognized the Power of We. They understood that young people possess unbound potential to lead positive change. They believed that when we come together, the world’s problems become smaller. When Lions and Leos serve together, the impossible becomes possible. Over the past 60 years, the Leo movement has continued to grow into a network of over 7,000 clubs in 145 countries. Leos continue to build upon our association’s tradition of service to meet emerging global needs. I have witnessed the commitment and perseverance of Leos both in-person and also through the International Leo Day Video Contest. Leos from 25 countries shared why they serve and how they have taken action in their communities.
