A nursing student (18) was dismissed from the Alba Chipamba Training Centre at Oshikango yesterday for appearing on social media while singing in uniform and tarnishing the image of the institution.
According to the dismissal letter, signed by the head of the Oshikango campus Aina Kuutondokwa, Maria Edward was also dismissed on charges of refusing to comply with rightful instruction or request by an official.
“The above student went on social media in the name of a TikTok challenge in school uniform singing along to a song appearing drunk. As the Alba Chipamba Training Centre disciplinary committee, we have made efforts to mentor the student, so she reforms and is committed to her career,” notes the dismissal letter.
However, despite the disciplinary measures put in place, Edward has refused to reform, the letter noted.
