ThiscasestudyreportprovidesageneraldescriptionandanalysisofGhana's
efforts at diversifying its secondary school curriculum, and the
lessons that might be learnedfrom this experience. The report
focuses on the vocationa- sation policy of the 1987 education
reforms. Not muchhas been written about the impact of
vocationalised secondary education inGhana with the resultthat
there is very little documentation on issues pertinent to TVE at
that level. D- cussions with Ministry of Education (MOE)
of?cialsrevealed that investment inthe technicalinstitute and
polytechnic sector is currentlyof more immediate concern than
investment in vocational secondary education-an indication of
perhaps growing dissatisfaction with the vocationalised secondary
education policies of the 1987 reforms. Ministry of?cials feltthat
a few senior secondary
schoolsneededtobespeciallydesignatedassecondarytechnicalorvocational,
with the rest concentrating on providing general education.
Furthermore, they argued that thiswould facilitate specialfunding
of specially designated TVE secondary schoolsand thus improve
theiref?ciency and effectiveness. A f-
quentcriticismfromministryof?cialswasthattheseniorsecondarysectorwas
still too narrowly focused on university requirements, thus
undermining their ability to address the practical goalsof TVE.
Some of the information sought by the terms of reference (TOR) of
this study was not readily available partly because vocational
secondary education had not attracted as much interest as, for
example, basic education where s- eral reviews and studies have
been conducted. Recent policy literature on TVE in Ghana re?ects
concerns with the informal and formal vocational schools sector
(Japan International Cooperation Agency/MOE, 2001). Also, docum-
tation on implementation stages of vocational policies is dif?cult
to ?nd.
