The analysis, which was matched with an audit of 10 economic sectors, showed that within the period, there was also an ineffective mode of teaching at the various TVET institutions, which adversely impacted on the productivity levels of graduates from those schools on the job market.

Director-General of the Commission for TVET Dr Fred Kyei Asamoah disclosed this at a media briefing on the first five-year strategic plan (2018 to 2022) for transforming TVET in the country.
