The Ghana TVET Service

The Ghana TVET Service is an agency established by an Act of Parliament, Pre-Tertiary Education Act 2020 (Act 1049) with the mandate to manage, oversee and implement approved national policies and programmes relating to Pre-tertiary Technical and Vocational Education and Training

The Act led to bringing together all the technical and vocational programmes run by nine(9) different Ministries under the ambit of the Ghana TVET Service.

Over the years, the TVET sector has suffered an image crisis over a public perception of being the refuge of students who are not academically endowed. Together with obsolete machinery, a fragmented TVET landscape, an outdated curriculum, a lack of standardization, duplication of roles amongst agencies and poor investment, this sector has lagged.

Government believes that TVET is key to the country’s industrialisation agenda as it provides the manpower for practical skills necessary for its industrial drive, as exemplified by it’s One District, One Factory initiative.
