Skills development in Ghana encompasses foundational skills,
transferable/soft-skills, and technical and vocational skills. This
report focuses on one segment of this skills development system:
formal and informal technical and vocational education and training
(TVET) at the pre-tertiary level. TVET represents a major
intersection between education, youth and the labor market. The
government has long promised to the population that increasing
technical and vocational skills training opportunities will help
solve youth unemployment. However, market distortions and
inefficiencies have led to an adverse cycle of high costs,
inadequate quality of supply and low demand, leading to further
pressures on the effectiveness and efficiency of TVET services.
This adverse cycle means that the political and policy promise of
skills development helping to ease the unemployment problem is at
risk of remaining unfulfilled. The report focuses on social and
economic demand for (pre-tertiary) technical and vocational skills
and maps out the supply of these skills from formal and informal,
private and public sectors. The dual purpose has been to both carry
out an institutional and policy analysis and also to establish a
platform for monitoring sector performance and assisting policy and
Development Partner harmonization. The report analyzes the economic
and social demand for technical and vocational skills and the
suitability of the current supply as well as the effectiveness of
policy, coordination and financing of technical and vocational
skills development. The report annex provides the summary of
economic demand analyses from the key sectors reviewed and provides
a full mapping of all technical and vocational programs in Ghana.
The study offers a comprehensive set of policy recommendations for
improving Ghana s pre-tertiary technical and vocational skills
development sector, which will be of interest to policy makers and
development partners in Ghana."
