The forum was open for all participants to share ideas.
Speaking at the forum, the deputy Educational minister, Mrs. Gifty Twum-Ampofo said, “The way the Government has equipped TVET is so good that universities are envious. Let’s all encourage our children to work with their heads, hearts and hands, which is what TVET is. This will drive the industrialization agenda of the country. If machines break down, we have the machines to fabricate the part instead of importing the same. Machines with no parts available to fix in case of a breakdown in Ghana is a thing of the past. To make this a reality you have be there as ambassadors and Career counselors to move the transformation Agenda.”
