Science Technology & TVET

The 2005 Annual Review highlights enrolment trends in the TVET and Science sectors, showcasing an overall increase, surpassing the 2004/05 targets. Despite this, female enrolment has decreased to 13.9%, raising concerns about gender equity in education. Key challenges include the delay in national TVET policy ratification, insufficient industrial placements for students, and the need for curriculum revisions to incorporate gender-neutral teaching. Additionally, initiatives like entrepreneurship skills training and ICT integration in education are underway, although funding remains a critical issue for implementation.

  1. Science Technology & TVET Education Sector Annual Review 2005

  2. Enrolment & Access Trends • Overall enrolment has exceeded 2004/05 target • An enrolment drive was conducted in 2004, involving all institutions

  3. Female participation • The % of girls enrolment has fallen from 14.9%% in 2003/04 to 13.9% in 2004/05 • 11% of teaching staff in TVET institutions are female • A workshop for reviewing the current syllabus to make it free from gender bias has been organised for end 2005

  4. Key issues TVET • National Framework policy • Progress in TVET sector has been hampered by the delay in ratifying the policy. • Formation of national TVET Council (COTVET) dependent on ratification of policy • Cabinet has approved framework and it is being submitted to Parliament for endorsement. • Industrial Attachment • All TVET students require a year’s industrial attachment, however the number of industry places available is not sufficient. • Pilot programme initiated for polytechnic students by the Association of Ghana Industries/Ghana Employers Association • 60 Technical teachers to undertake industrial attachment in 2005

  5. Key Issues TVET • Academic Progression • TVET trainees are now being trained (optional) in English, Maths & Science in order that they can sit WAEC exams and thus secure entry to polytechnics • Entrepreneurship Skills Development • Workshops were held in 2005 for teachers from each TVET institute • Construction of TVET • No new construction of TVET Institutions has taken place. Rehabilitation has taken place in 4 institutions.

  6. Key Issues TVET • Industrial Training Advisory Board • The ITAB would be responsible for the following • A competency-based demand driven training, in consultation with industry • Incorporation of Entrepreneurship skills training into all TVET curricula • Institutionalisation of industrial attachment for all students and instructors • Incorporation of SSS core subjects into all TVET curricula

  7. Science & Technology Education & Training ICT Policy Framework for Education • Activities planned for the implementation of the completed policy framework include • Provide access to internet in JSS and SSS • Train staff in delivery of ICT programmes in JSS & SSS • Provide training through Science Resource Centre • Procure computers for ICT programmes • Implementation is being hampered by lack of funds to organise workshops and to procure equipment

  8. Science & Technology Education & Training • Staff training in ICT delivery • 120 STME and Regional Coordinators and 76 Teacher Training tutors trained in ICTE for JSS • Provision of computers and training of JSS teachers will commence in late 2005/early 2006 • GES staff have commenced ICT training • Study guides for ICT education in SSS schools have not yet been developed

  9. Key Issues • Science Laboratories • All new model schools constructed are equipped with science laboratories JSS Workshops • Establishment and operation of JSS workshops in all schools is an ESP target • Construction and/or utilisation of workshops is not being undertaken STME training • Pilot INSET training for P4-P6 and JSS teachers in science & technology undertaken. This will be developed into a structured INSET model for all primary school teachers

  10. Questions • Key recommendations for TVET? • Key recommendations for Science & Technology? • Key inputs into AESOP? • Key inputs into Budget?
