Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has announced plans to resume the construction of nine Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) school projects, which were previously suspended due to the country’s economic challenges and inability to service its debts.
The projects were initially rolled out under a broader infrastructure development agenda spearheaded by Planet Core. However, the initiative stalled amid Ghana’s debt restructuring efforts.
Speaking during the inauguration of the National TVET One-Week Planning Committee on Wednesday, June 4, the Minister revealed that President John Dramani Mahama has officially approved the continuation of the projects, which form part of government-approved pipeline initiatives.
“I am happy to note and inform that the President has approved the continuation of nine TVET schools under the government-approved pipeline project. We will benefit from this. I am sure this was an initiative undertaken by Planet Core, which got halted following Ghana’s inability to service its debt or sustain it. We are happy that those TVET schools will now continue,” he said.
