The Deputy Minister of Education who doubles as Member of Parliament for Assin South Constituency in the Central Region, Hon. John Ntim Fordjour has noted that Ghana's present education system has transgressed the olden-day teaching and learning to the 21st century way of modernize education.
According to him, education in every child and community is currently being done the 21st century way, as investment in education is presently affecting all levels and leaving no community behind.
Hon. John Ntim Fordjour asserted this during commissioning of a state-of-the-art TVET School and Workshop Centre at Assin Jakai in the Assin South Constituency, as part of government's nationwide commissioning of over 80 education facilities across the country on Wednesday.
The TVET Centre which is named after Prof. Dominic Kweku Fobih, a prolific Ghanaian scholar who hails from the Assin South Constituency is in to augment Ghana's free TVET education.
The Central Regional Minister, Hon. Justina Marigold Assan speaking at the commissioning, recounted TVET education as a unique study for every person to venture and proposed the need for TVET to be a course subject at various level of education in the country for everyone to go through following its sheer benefit and importance on humanity.
She further opined that TVET education as widely speculated is never a dumping site for daft students, but rather a place where the unique talent of students are unearthed, having emerged a product of TVET education.
In an address delivered on behalf of the Director-General of TVET, Mr. David Prah by Seth Botchwey, the Head of Research, Innovation, Monitoring and Evaluation at the Regional Directorate - Ghana TVET Service, he outlined the moment to mark a significant milestone in the collective effort to empower the youth in Assin Jakai and its environs with the skill and knowledge they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
