Nursing training fees too high

Nursing training fees too high
presently  the   enthusiasm  with which  students   enter   nursing training colleges is no longer there.   This can be attributed  to the high fees charges, most parents and guardians  are finding it  difficult to enrol their wards into these colleges.
This year, my  sister had the opportunity to study in one of the nursing training colleges and the tuition fees she was asked to pay is  beyond the family’s  purse. . Even though the school had no accommodation for the students, the officials did not use that opportunity to reduce the fees for the students.
The most exasperating part is that, after this huge sum of fees was paid, they were asked to purchase text books which were almost of the same rate of the tuition fees. Parents and guardians are staggering in pain because the burden is too much for them to bear.  Also, student who are not privileged to afford are unable to study due to the stresses they encounter from college officials.
I would like to plead with the government, the ministry of health and the various principals of various nursing training colleges to take a second look at this issue in order to help put things right for the betterment of our future health personnels.
