"We want to make Ghana a leading country in TVET Delivery in Africa" - Prez Akufo-Addo







President Akufo-Addo continued, “We need to modernise all aspects of our lives, and we need skilled people to lead the modernisation process. If we are to transform the structure of our economy from one dependent on the production and export of raw materials, to a value-added, industrialised one, then students from technical institutions, such as yours, are crucial.”    

Citing the example of Germany, which has an abundance of well-qualified, technical employees in business and industry, the President indicated that the ‘dual system’ of Vocational Education and Training has been credited for Germany’s excellent economic performance, and her consolidation into a mighty, industrial power. 

“Countries such as Austria, Slovakia, Switzerland and South Korea have emulated this system. We, also, in Ghana, need to emulate them,” he stressed.

President Akufo-Addo commissioned an ICT laboratory, library, and an administration block for Asuansi Technical Institute, which was constructed by Government, in partnership with the African Development Bank, under the “Development of skills for Industry Project (DSIP)”. 

The President also cut the sod for the construction of an auditorium for the school.
