A Catering Workshop, funded by Dental Gel of Germany through One Child Ghana, has been commissioned for the Tetrefu Technical Institute (TTI), which used to have practical sessions under trees.
An eight-seater water closet toilet facility has also been built and commissioned for the school to replace a pit latrine constructed 21 years ago.
One Child Ghana is a United Kingdom-based voluntary organisation that supports students across 13 vocational schools (DICCES Center’s) in the Ashanti Region.
A brand new bus was also presented to the school through Mr. Richard Agyeman Yamoah, Principal of the Center, which ceremony coincided with the out-dooring of fresh students to the school.
Nana Anthony Boateng, Country Representative of One Child Ghana, said the organisation worked in partnership with those centers to help them have a biggest impact, possible in training delivery.
Nana Boateng stressed that One Child had developed a very close relationship with the schools to create genuine and sustainable impacts.
Mr. Daniel Amo, Ashanti Regional Co-ordinator for Department of Integrated Community Centers for Employable Skills (DICCES), revealed that the government’s industrialisation agenda could not be achieved without Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), since it was the master key to the nation’s development.
He observed that TVET had made developed countries like Germany and Japan among others, and advised that the country adopt TVET to push forward the developmental agenda as a nation.
Mr. Emmanuel Bookie Fapem, Chief Executive Officer of FAPEM Construction Limited, and an old student who presided over the commissioning of the facilities, appealed to parents and guardians to encourage their ward to enroll in TVET Institutions to enable them become responsible citizens and take care of their families by contributing their quota to national development.
