All our 35 TVET institutions are being equipped to meet world-class statuses, Deputy Education Minister, Gifty Ampfo Twum has said.
The move, according to Madam Twum, is to build a robust sector that can help reduce the high youth unemployment rate in the country.
“I believe if we want to move forward as a country, TVET is the way to go so we have built workshops in all our TVET institutions to meet a world-class status,” she said.
She disclosed this on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, adding the government is focused and committed to prioritising the sector.
“There is now a uniform curriculum package used for all TVET institutions, which means there’s programme accreditation for all Pre-Tertiary and Technical Universities across the country, and they are equipped with the needed resources.
“This will enable us to deliver competent-based training, at the laboratory and at the centers where students can do their simulation and also do their practicals,” she noted.
