Togbe Adzesi Dzaga IV, Senior Divisional Chief of Awudome Avenui Traditional Area, has advised parents to encourage their wards to accept admissions to vocational and technical schools that give hands on training\u00a0to equip their children with employable skills.<\/p>\n
Addressing patrons at the grand durbar of this year\u2019s yam festival by the Chiefs and People of Awudome Traditional Area, the Traditional Leader explained that, although Secondary School Education is equally good, vocational and technical education provides skills that could make the children self-employed after school, without having to bear the brunt of the increasing unemployment in the country.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”HKpzQGkuu1YycnLWH2pPdlGjzkjuxFAB”]\u201cEven though the secondary school is also good, I plead that all of you advise your children to accept admissions in Technical and Vocational Educational Institutions which will prepare them for ready jobs after their training. The level of unemployment is high, and so I advise you train them to work on their own\u201d he stated. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
The Chief\u2019s counsel renews calls by many to promote Vocational and Technical Education in Ghana as a game changer for the country\u2019s development.<\/p>\n
Although Technical and Vocational Education (TVE), are to equip students with technical and employable skills that could make them set up their own businesses, the seeming neglect demonstrated towards such educations in Ghana presents a negative picture of the prospects of TVE in Ghana.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s yam festival was held at Awudome-Tsibu on the theme \u201c Fostering Unity through forgiveness and reconciliation\u201d aimed at promoting unity among the seven communities of Awudome Traditional Area.<\/p>\n
