BECE CANDIDATES IN BONO EAST URGED TO CONSIDER TVET SCHOOLS AS CHOICES.

The Bono East Regional Director for the Ghana TVET Service, Mr. Appiah Bismarck, has urged Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates to consider choosing Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) schools.


The call comes as BECE candidates began their Senior High School selections on 20th July 2026.


According to Mr. Appiah, the advocacy aims to equip students with the knowledge to make thoughtful choices about senior high schools and programmes based on their interests and strengths.


In an exclusive interview on Fabea FM with Apiah-Kubi, Mr. Appiah emphasised the importance of aligning career aspirations with TVET programme choices.


He advised parents not to impose courses on their children, but rather to consider their talents, personality, and interest in hands-on work.


The Director encouraged parents to support their children's ambitions and help them stay focused.


Mr. Appiah highlighted the critical role of TVET in Ghana’s development. He cautioned against the perception that technical schools are for less capable students.


“People with technical skills are doing great things in our country,” he said, citing professions like Electrical Engineering Technology, 

Welding and Fabrication Technology, Fashion Design Technology are essential to nation-building.


“Going to a technical school does not mean you are not smart. Many skilled individuals are running successful businesses and creating jobs,” he added.


He urged parents to recognise and nurture their children’s talents instead of forcing them into strictly academic paths.


He also recommended a list of reputable TVET schools for practically inclined learners.


He warned that mistakes in selecting schools can negatively affect placement. He explained the categorisation of schools into Groups A, B, and C.


“Be informed about the choices for your academic and career journeys. Don’t just choose a school,” Mr. Appiah concluded.
