Technical and Vocational education in the country would be revamped and boosted with a 100 million US dollar strategy to deliver and liberate the nation from poverty, Mrs Betty Mould Idrissu, Minister of Education has said. �Education is about learning and bettering yourself to meet one�s needs in life and that these can be achieved better through technical/vocational education where engineering, masonry, carpentry, electricians, among others exist.� To achieve these, she said, the Ministry has put in place, �Council for Technical and Vocational Education and that will revive all technical/vocational institutions in the country for science, laboratory and other equipment to ensure better results. Mrs Idrissu who was speaking at a durbar of chiefs and people of Enyan Abaasa to climax the annual Akwanbo festival dubbed �Queens Day� under the theme: �Promoting Technical Education through Culture � The Role of Stakeholders,� promised the provision of a dormitory block for Enyan Abaasa Technical/Vocational Institute. She has therefore appealed to the youth, especially the girl-child to be serious, take advantage of the offer and become men and women of substance in future.
