Abstract

The goal of Ghana's technical and vocational education and training (TVET) is to provide the youth with the training of technical and vocational skills necessary for socio-economic growth of the nation. Although TVET is acknowledged as an important sub-sector for Ghana's industrial growth, the standard of instruction at the basic level has continued to deteriorate. The aim of this study was to determine how well the TVET programme has met the students' basic skill requirements for job creation, 126 technical teachers from one Municipal and four districts provided the study's quantitative data in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The results of the survey revealed that, despite the curriculum's goals being clearly expressed and its teaching and practice guidelines being suitably described, Ghana's TVET has not adequately fulfilled the skill demands of students in the Junior High School (JHS). Furthermore, the system was not properly developed to guarantee continuity for individuals who choose the TVET programme.
