The vice president Dr. Mahamoud Bawumia has cut sod for work to begin on the construction of Phase One of 32 State of the Art Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) facilities to be built across the country.
This is in furtherance of Government’s goal of making Ghana a world-class centre for skills development and also make skills acquisition aspirational for all Ghanaians.
Performing the launch on Monday, 6th June, 2022 Vice President Bawumia said the construction of the facilities forms part of a broader government plan to make Ghana’s education system more responsive to industry needs.
“At the start of our administration in 2017, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo set out a clear plan to industrialize Ghana and one of the key pillars of that agenda is to revamp and modernize TVET so that it becomes responsive to the needs of industry. Also hinged on this vision is the dream to make TVET aspirational among the youth,” he explained.
When completed, each Region will have two of such centres, further increasing access to technical and vocational education, as well as provide opportunities for skills acquisition and upgrading for practicing artisans in order to meet the country’s development needs, especially the demands of industry
