UNICEF Ghana’s Post

Connecting today's learning to future opportunities is important. When young people see how their education connects to real job opportunities, they become more motivated. Families appreciate the value of education, and communities thrive. Last week, Dr Pia Rebello Britto visited a lively TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) school in Accra, where students are acquiring valuable skills in IT, engineering, and solar technology. The energy and creativity of the students showed why we should celebrate TVET instead of looking down on it. However, 91% of the secondary students in this engineering-focused #TVET school are male. Girls should have the same chance to explore and succeed in high-growth technical careers. To unlock the full potential of Ghana's skills ecosystem, UNICEF is collaborating with the government and other partners to: - Promote TVET as a preferred pathway to entrepreneurship and innovation - Generate evidence to inform policy and action - Advocate for sustainable and equitable financing - Ensure that girls are included and supported every step of the way These young innovators are helping to create a skills-driven future. Together, we can ensure that every learner has the opportunity to build the future they choose. #GirlsInSTEM #SkillsForAll | Ghana Education Service Christin McConnell Joseph Du Akua Gyan-Darkwa Dayoung Yang Ghana TVET Service Ministry of Education, Ghana Christopher Nkrumah
