The Deputy Director of the Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (CTVET), Mr Kwame Zu, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to integrating robotics, coding, and digital literacy into the country’s TVET delivery framework.

Addressing the 18th graduation ceremony of Ghana School, Mr Zu said the move is aimed at preparing Ghanaian learners for global competitiveness in the ever-evolving digital landscape.

“Government also pledges to integrate robotics, coding, and digital literacy into TVET delivery, particularly through SMART Start, and to boost the development of step-by-step TVET model schools in selected schools and underserved communities,” he stated.

Mr Zu noted that these strategic reforms are aligned with the full implementation of the National TVET Qualifications Framework (NTQF), which offers structured progression from basic proficiency levels through full certificates, diplomas, and potentially to the Doctor of Technology degree.

“The government is working towards the full implementation of the National TVET Qualifications Framework, providing a clear and structured pathway for learners to progress from proficiency, full certificates, diploma levels, and potentially up to the Doctor of Technology degree,” he explained.

As part of the ongoing reforms, he announced plans to establish a regional TVET centre of excellence. The facility, he said, would be equipped with modern tools and technologies designed to foster innovation and simulate real-world industry environments for learners.

Mr Zu stressed that these efforts are part of a broader national agenda to promote inclusive development through skills training and technology.

“These are critical steps towards ensuring that no one is left behind in the national skills agenda. I repeat, these are steps being taken that no one should be left behind,” he emphasised.

He encouraged graduating students to seize the opportunities created by the ongoing digital and technical transformation, urging them to build relevant skills that contribute meaningfully to Ghana’s socio-economic growth.

The CTVET continues to serve as the regulatory and coordinating body for TVET education in Ghana, ensuring that training institutions align with national standards and remain responsive to emerging global trends.
