Kumasi, April 20, GNA – The Ghana TVET Service has assured the public that feeding across Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions is stable, with no disruption to academic activities.  

Learners continue to receive meals as scheduled, and teaching and learning are proceeding uninterrupted across all institutions.  

In line with operational protocols introduced in the previous year (2025), the procurement and management of perishable food items were decentralized to the institutional level and are currently handled by school principals as opposed to what was being done before. 

These were in a statement signed by Hephzibah N.D Armah, acting Deputy Director, Corporate Affairs and Communications, Ghana TVET Service and copied to the Ghana News Agency.  

According to the statement, this established arrangement continued to support timely and context-specific decision-making within institutions. 

“Institutional operations continue to be effectively managed by our principals under this framework, with no formal reports of shortages submitted to the Service.  

Recent engagements among agencies under the Ministry of Education are part of established inter-agency coordination processes aimed at strengthening collaboration and ensuring effective service delivery at the pre-tertiary level”.  

The statement indicated that the Service in its bid to raise standards also continues to engage stakeholders on a day-to-day basis to sustain and enhance the quality of operations and management within technical education. 

The Ghana TVET Service assured commitment to maintaining high standards in skills training while safeguarding the welfare of all learners.  

The Service reaffirmed that TVET institutions remained fully operational, stable, and focused on delivering uninterrupted education.
