Stakeholders' perception of inclusive and quality technical and vocational education training in the Sunyani municipality of Ghana

The study examined stakeholders' perception of inclusive and quality technical and vocational education training in Ghana. Adopting a case study approach with mixed methods research design, the study used a simple random sampling to select 288 stakeholders comprising 258 students and 30 teachers for a survey and eight officials from relevant institutions for key informant interviews. The quantitative data was analysed using SPSS 24 to generate descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation while the qualitative data was analysed manually by theming the responses. The analysis revealed that stakeholders have confidence that technical and vocational education training (TVET) is providing learners with foundational and higher-order skills but underscored that it is not sustainable in its current state. The study argues that enhancing the inclusiveness and quality of TVET requires comprehensive policy reforms and transformative program development to enhance capacity building, skills development, and improved employability of TVET graduates.
