The delegation is focused on Ghana’s TVET institutions, administrative structures, curriculum, gender enrolment and retention, student employability, entrepreneurship, and funding mechanisms.

The Ministry of Higher Education of Botswana has applauded the Ghana Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) Service for its innovative and transformative skills development approach.

 A delegation from Botswana, led by Mr Prince Maele, the Sector Minister and other education experts, is on a week’s visit to learn about the Ghana TVET Service’s unique framework, regulatory policies, institutional realignment, and industry partnerships that have made it a model for vocational education in Africa.

The delegation is focused on Ghana’s TVET institutions, administrative structures, curriculum, gender enrolment and retention, student employability, entrepreneurship, and funding mechanisms.

In effect, the study visit will support Botswana’s policy reforms, improve TVET governance, enhance curriculum relevance and boost youth employability for accelerated economic growth.

Overall, the move will strengthen diplomatic ties, academic tourism, exchange programmes and cultural diversity between the two countries. Ghana and Botswana established formal diplomatic relations on October 28, 1975, to enhance cooperation.

Recent interactions include knowledge-sharing missions and calls from Botswana’s leadership to deepen diplomatic ties, academic exchanges and mutual collaboration in education and skills development reflecting both countries’ commitment to strengthening bilateral relations for mutual benefit.

At a visit to the Biriwa Technical Institute near Cape Coast, Maele emphasised the growing recognition of TVET as a vital driver for sustainable development and youth empowerment across Africa.
