The Central Regional Minister, Justina Marigold Assan, has urged Ghanaians to eschew the misconception that the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) was meant for non-performing students.
She said this misguided notion has led to lack of appreciation for the value of what TVET stood for individuals, communities, and the nation.
The Regional Minister made the remarks during the commissioning of a state-of-the-art project for Assin Jakai Technical Institute named after Mr Dominic Fobih, a former Minister of Education.
She noted that TVET was a specialised education and training programme designed to equip students with practical skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for the world of work.
