Let's leverage on TVET to abate Unemployment menance– Mr. Afful Manu

An advocate of the Technical Vocational Education and Training(TVET) who doubles as the Proprietor of Star of Africa Montessori Academy,  Mr. Afful Manu Benjamin has hinted that focusing on Technical and Vocational Education Training(TVET) will be the panacea for reducing unemployment in the country. According to the Proprietor, the Ghanaian dream of transforming the economy through job creation though good, but should not focus only on reading and writing forms of education.

He acknowledged that much as the reading and writing were good, not every student would be hence the need for an alternative to cater for the remaining once at the same time.

He however indicated that though most Ghanaians may be used to the theoretical but lack the basic job skills, hence the increasing unemployment challenges in the country. Shedding light on the overall benefits of the subject matter in an interview with Daily Analyst, he stressed the urgent need for the TVET initiative to be incorporated into the transformational agenda of the country as a measure to deal with the youth unemployment gaps within the labor force.

The businessman could not understand why leaders and stakeholders have not thought of placing TVET education in the center of job creation yet but was hopeful that if finally done, would create the needed skills.
