The Coalition of Students of the Schools of Hygiene is demanding their two-year’ unpaid trainee allowance owed since January 2023, including a full year for the 2021 Ho School of Hygiene certificate batch.
The students who raised concerns about a potential long-term unemployment say, engagements with the Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources revealed delays due to a lack of financial clearance from the Ministry of Finance.
According to the Coalition’s General Secretary, Emmanuel Awuku, students are facing challenges and called for posting for batches yet to be deployed.
They are however threatening on a demonstration if their demands are not met.
“Tempers are rising among School of Hygiene trainees across the country and the urge to resort to a massive demonstration at the presidency and the Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources is getting to its peak by the day.
“School of Hygiene trainees are also health trainees and remain constitutionally eligible to receive our trainee allowances but it seems stakeholders are using technicalities to push our people off the scheme of trainee allowance and we haven’t received an allowance for two years now and some have even completed without receiving a Cedi as trainee allowances.”
