what powers is this woman saying has been taken away from her? power of sacking students from writing exams? she is not serious. i think the authorities have said this over and over again that no school authority should disallowed any student from writing an exam on the basis of pregnancy. nursing administrators are, to me very wicked, always looking for opportunity to punish students or their junior subordinates for every little mistake they make instead of concentrating on better things. this head needs to be sacked!!!

As far as I am concerned, there are whole lot of nonsense in our system: preventing final year SHS girls from writing their final exam just because they are growing long hair, and dragging a lady out of the exam hall for being pregnant. what does long hair or pregnancy got to do with exams? where is the human right? Why mess up with someone's future and life? did she say she can't continue with the course? this is real nonsense.

This useless Principal, defer does not mean do not take exam. It means if you need to go and return later . That will be your decision to be agreed with the School, the School does not initiate the deference . Stupid woman.

It is not the rules, but its application that is the issue here! If the rule is to defer the course when pregnant, but the course has been completed with only an exam to write (and the final paper of the exam at that) there is no justification in deferment. Unless the intention is one of punishment. Any "idiot" can just apply the law, but it takes a manager to use discretion in applying the law. The head of the school is deficient in this regard!

The grammar is just as terrible as that Law/regulation is archaic. Even ministers and prime ministers can have babies while in Office.

If the authorities had found out earlier, it would not have been a problem. Is it not heart breaking disqualifying a runner at the end of the race? The final examination is not part of the course. The examination only determines how she took the course. The woman should be allowed to finish what they allowed her to start.
I think the purpose of the regulation is to avoid stop start within terms. I think this is not a School for young girls but for adults like the Principal.
Tell her to shut up. She herself failed in administering the school if she thinks she should apply that rule. If the Principal failed to find out the pregnancy for one week, she should also give the student one week to see if she will find it hard to finish the exam.

You did not ask the student to defer untill exams? I think this Headmistress doesn't even understand what's in the student handook.

So long as this is stated in black and white that you have to defer your course when pregnant, must be effected. If we think the Principal is wrong then change the law first. Can you imagine what others will do hearing that the laws don't apply? What about having a school with half of female population pregnant?

point of corrections, the headmistress did not ask the student to differ the course but rather prevented her from taking part in an examination. I would have supported the headmistress if she asked the student to differ the course. Logically, preventing the student from writing the exams doesn't fulfill the requirements of the schools regulation of differing the course.

Common sense should have told you that the law was stupid. People in a post secondary institution are adults and skills be able to go to school, get married or very pregnant. What's the difference between these people and university students? Why do you treat them like children? The last time teacher training colleges were banning students from owning mobile phones, another stupid rule. What if a mother wants to check on her child? The blatant absence of common sense in the the decision of leaders is worrying. We pay them with our taxes to think up solutions but no, gbede gbede a koe!!!!

I just don't understand why we black people hate each other, or is it lack of wisdom, the principal in question, is she a man or woman, without matenal instincts. I think she need to cease to be a head of midwifery school and hand her resignation, because you cannot rule a school without rules as she claim.

This is just a tip of the iceberg. So much human rights abuses in our training institutions. Go to the SDA Nursing Training Institute at Asanta near Esiama in the Western Region and see what's happening. Trainees being forcibly indoctrinated in SDA beliefs. Moslems and non-SDA students forced to abide by the churches doctrines. Several cases of unacceptable suspensions and illegal and wanton use of students in executing churche' s private construction of a church at the school.

Pregnancy is not a sickness to no pregnant girl or woman should be prevented from attending school and working.
Some of us see women who get themselves impregnated of doing some sort of social labour, the labour of producing human resources that can only be produced through biological means, though they acquire knowledge and skills not in the womb, but in society that they serve or are to serve.
So lets give loving kindness to any girl or woman who carries a human being in her womb.
