The majority of the nursing staff at SCH are young women with a basic 10th grade education who are trained on site to be nurse aides. Some would like to continue their education and become midwives. However, the interview for midwifery school requires an English exam and the girls are having difficulty passing the exam. An ESL teacher is needed to help them improve their English written and oral skills. As the young women are able to take the midwifery training they can then return to the hospital and serve as midwives, filling a constant need of midwifery staff.
