Dr George Afeti, the best, you have spoken the truth. All the countries you have mentioned have advanced due to the inportance they have attached to technical training.
You left a good mark at Ho Poly. It is there for all to see. One who came after you recently looted the whole place, building three houses within 4 years, stealing money due to staffs. When EOCO triled him he sought refuge in a powerful man at the Castle and Flagstaff Houe to stop the investigations. 2017 awaits him.

Dr George Afeti has spoken the truth. Government should listen to hi, and right the wrongs on the technical education sector to reduce unemployment. Why should our percentage be 1.7%? Yet we want to create employment through the private sector?
Government must also focus its eyes on those academics who get posted to head Polytechnics only to loot the place in connivance with Finance Officers and Internal Auditors. Ho Poly Finance Officer, now Finance MisDirector has built 8 2-Bedroom Self contained houses within 4 years when a kleptomaniac recently headed the place. What has happened to External Auditors' Report on theft of IGF. 2017 awaits them. Seth Terkper, please zero in on IGFs of Polytechnics to go into the Consolodated Fund to stop the stealing spree.

All the nice things you have said will come to nought if the kleptomaniacs hiding in some Polytechnics, Technical and Vocational Training Institutes continue to siphone money into their private pockects. Ho Poly is a typical case. Within 4 years, a kleptomaniac Ho Poly Rector, now hiding at KNUST Agric Department, put up 4 mansions. Where did he get all the money. What was he worth while ar CSIR where he came from. The Finance Officer and Internal Auditor connived with him. The kleptomaniac used a powerful man at the Flagstaff House to stop EOCo investigations into his stealing spree. The FO has built eight 2-Bedroom Self contained houses within 4 years. Yet the Chiefs of Ho and opinion leaders sit down for all these to happen, How does the Institution give its best to stakeholders? The FO who abandoned ship at Ho Poly many years ago came back to get the position with one purpose - to help loot the place. 2017 awaits them.

Where have all the cattle belonging to Ho Polytechnic gone to? Within 4 years a kleptomaniac Ho Poly Rector, now hiding at KNUST Agric Department stole 80% of the cattle, by pretending that a few cows he himself bought should be kept in the Polytechnic kraal. What conflict of interest. Cattle were then stolen one by one by the Head of Mechanization and transferred to a Vice Rector and the kleptomaniac Rector. Cattle that used to roam the campus in their numbers during the Dr Afeti and his immediate successor's time have all vanished. Yet stakeholders sit tight and aloof for technical education to be prostituted? 2017 awaits them.

The Public Accounts Committee of Parliament should probe Ho Poly, in particular, as External Auditors have raised serious questions about the management of IGF at the place between 2010 - 2014. About 10 houses were built by a kleptomaniac Rector and Finance Officer, between them. What has happened to Ghc140,000 IGF money shared by the Rector, FO, Internal Auditor and former Registrar as salary top-ups which External Auditors have questioned. Why should the gang pay Ghc198,000 2-year suspicious interest accrued on a Nissan Teana bought on credit from a motor firm? And the Teana was taken away by the kleptomaniac Rector against President Mahamah's 2013 directive that no public servant should take away such things after completing his tenure of office? Rector, Registrar and FO to take away cars without Presidential assent? Why should technical training institutes' resources be looted with such abandon? Yet we want them to produce skilled graduates for employment? 2017 should await them.

There is a serious matter with technical education in Ghana. People who go teachers training college or nurses who go to such schools graduate and practice their profession.
Unfortunately show me a technical professional school in Ghana who would graduate from that school and be able to practice the technical or vocational profession. Most often people have to go to attend some apprenticeship training before being able to practice the vocational profession.
We need to study the apprenticeship system and replicate it in the school situation to overcome this challenge. To this end, we need establish 3-5 Year VTEC Training Colleges such that graduates can directly practice the profession on their own without going to do a waste of apprenticeship.
