Reference
Government in the 2013/2014 academic year scrapped the payment of monthly allowance of GH¢452 to the trainees; something that generated hue and cries among trainees and some parents, and was criticized by the then Akufo-Addo-led New Patriotic Party. Nana Akufo-Addo, the then-presidential candidate of the NPP promised to restore the allowance together with that of trainee nurses if voted into office. In fulfillment of the promise, the government announced in August 2017 that it will from October that year begin giving each trainee GH¢400, from which GH¢196 will use to pay for trainees’ utilities.
