Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has today, Tuesday, December 14, 2021, launched the Ghana Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Service.
The service is to give further impetus and direction to Government’s priority focus on technical and vocational education and training.
This would bring together all the technical and vocational programmes run by the 19 different Ministries under the ambit of the Ghana TVET Service.
The Director-General of the Service would be reporting to the Minister and Ministry of Education, like her counterpart, Director General of the Ghana Education Service, and other agencies under the Ministry.
The operationalization of the Service is also to ensure the smooth take-off of the Government’s flagship programme “Free TVET For All”, under which all the TVET Institutions which are now captured under the Ghana TVET Service will be included in the next academic year’s (February 2022) Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) for selection by the Junior High School graduates.
At the ceremony, the Vice President said the government remains committed to providing greater opportunities for technical and vocation training and skill acquisition as we work towards achieving a Ghana Beyond Aid.
