More resources to be channelled to TVET – Government
The government has pledged its commitment to put more resources into Technical and Vocational Education and Training to make the sector more attractive to the Ghanaian youth.
Also, the government has touted the strides made in the sector through the Education Ministry by improving the supply of equipment and training as well as ensuring the training is comfortable.
Minister of Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, who spoke on behalf of President Nana Akufo-Addo during the launch of a new Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training in the Ashanti Region assured that the government is also working to erase the misconception about the TVET sector.
“My government has since 2019 been implementing my TVET campaign to help change the negative public perceptions about TVET in Ghana. This is because when we assumed office in 2017, one of the greatest challenges we faced was the perception people had about technical and vocational education.”
“The effect has been catastrophic and is staring us in the face. We are using this campaign to emphasize the importance of TVET and erase the misconceptions people have about them. We will also invest more resources into it to make it attractive.”
