Government urged to prioritise gender parity in TVET initiatives

Accra, Oct. 14, GNA – Stakeholders have called on the government to prioritise policies that promote girls’ participation in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).

They observed that there was a significant lack of gender equality in the government’s TVET initiatives.

The stakeholders made the appeal during a commemorative durbar for the International Day of the Girl at the Ada Technical Institute in the Greater Accra Region.

The durbar was to encourage girls’ participation in TVET and to challenge longstanding cultural narratives, stereotypes, and biases.

The event featured various activities, including street processions by boys and girls from second-cycle and Junior High Schools to raise awareness about TVET for girls.
