Gov't pushes TVET curriculum reforms to equip students for changing job market
Haruna Iddrisu, the Minister for Education, called for a comprehensive review of Ghana's Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) curriculum on Wednesday, 17th June, 2026, at the commissioning of a newly constructed 48 beds girls' dormitory at St. Paul Technical Institute in Kukurantumi in the Eastern Region. He urged the Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (CTVET) to review existing training programmes. He remarked, "Renew and revise your curriculum accordingly to incorporate digital literacy, green technology and sustainable policies into the TVET curriculum; if it already exists, enhance or elevate it for these young ones."
Mr. Iddrisu stated that the rapid transformation of the global economy requires a modern TVET curriculum that prepares graduates for innovation, entrepreneurship, and emerging industries. Dr. Eric Kofi Adzroe, the Director-General of the Ghana TVET Service, described the new facility as a significant investment that will improve access to quality technical education for female students. He noted that increasing accommodation capacity is expected to encourage more girls to pursue technical and vocational education while helping bridge gender disparities within the sector.
