Sunyani Technical University (STU), in collaboration with the Ghana Education Service, has organised a day’s training workshop for Career Technology and Creative Arts teachers in the Sunyani Municipality.
The University fully sponsored the training programme to empower and sharpen the skills of these basic school teachers who are responsible for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in their respective schools.
The training formed part of STU’s contributions towards the development and growth of TVET, which is one of the key focus areas of the on-going reforms in the education sector.
Welcoming the participants, the Pro-Vice Chancellor of STU, Prof. Justice Solomon Korantwi-Barimah, acknowledged the importance of TVET in the socio-economic advancement of this country and hoped that the training programme would further broaden their horizon in this critical area.
He said TVET provides people with the skills needed for the socio-economic and industrial development of a country, adding that the emphasis is on training people for self-employment.
The Sunyani Municipal Director of Education, Mr. Mark Godfred Domah, thanked STU for wholeheartedly accepting to offer this training programme for the teachers, saying the gesture would go a long way to boost their delivery, going forward.
He also thanked the various lecturers of STU who served as the Resource Persons for the training programme.
