The Vanuatu Trade Commission, in collaboration with the African Diaspora Central Bank (ADCB), has unveiled a USD 280 million funding package to enhance the infrastructure and capabilities of Ghana’s technical universities and vocational institutions.

 Conversion of polytechnics into technical universities has highlighted the urgent need for adequate resources and infrastructure to support their upgraded status.

Ambassador Hugu Aryee of the Vanuatu Trade Commission, during a visit by the Ghana National Union of Technical Students (GNUTS), noted that this initiative underscores a commitment to advancing Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Ghana, with specific conditions to ensure its effective implementation.

 The Coordinating Secretary of the Ghana National Union of Technical Students (GNUTS), Christian Akwasi Agyei, expressed optimism about the collaboration.

 He mentioned that the partnership will focus significantly on Artificial Intelligence (AI) training, emphasizing the importance of adapting to the digital age despite current resource limitations.

 A consultant for the AI Africa and Lumi projects, Dr David King Boison, highlighted the challenges faced by technical universities, stressing the need for resources to enhance students' skills.

 GNUTS, representing over 200,000 students from all ten public technical universities and various technical and vocational institutions in Ghana and abroad, has been a staunch advocate for the rights of TVET students.

 Their dedication to positively influencing policy and fostering a spirit of unity is truly commendable. The funding initiative promises to be a game - changer for Ghana’s TVET landscape, providing much -needed resources to empower students with the skills necessary for the future.
