TVET is not a dumping ground for underperforming students-Regional Minister

Mrs Justina Marigold Assan, Central Regional Minister, has urged Ghanaians to eschew the misconception that TVET was meant for non-performing students.

The Regional Minister made the remarks during the commissioning of a state-of-the-art project for Assin Jakai Technical Institute named after Mr Dominic Fobih, a former Minister of Education.
