As the news of David Prah’s resignation as Director-General of the Ghana TVET Service spreads, it’s clear that his legacy will be remembered for years to come. Mr. Prah has been instrumental in shaping the TVET sector in Ghana, bringing about transformative changes that have had a lasting impact.
Prah’s resignation may be seen as a strategic move, given the recent change in government. However, his dedication to the TVET Service and its staff cannot be overstated. During his tenure, he played a crucial role in setting up the sector, migrating TVET staff from the Ghana Education Service (GES), and advocating for better salaries for his staff.
As a renowned TVET specialist, Competence-Based Training (CBT) expert, and seasoned academic, Mr. Prah brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role. His leadership prowess and commitment to excellence have earned him recognition as a transformational leader in the TVET sector.
Under Prah’s leadership, the TVET Service made significant strides in improving quality assurance, curriculum development, and training standards. His focus on innovative training methods and enhanced educational opportunities for youth has been particularly noteworthy.
Some of his notable achievements include:
Establishing partnerships: Prah fostered partnerships with local and international organisations to enhance the quality of TVET programs in Ghana.
Improving infrastructure: He oversaw the development of modern TVET facilities, providing students with access to state-of-the-art equipment and technology.
Promoting industry engagement: Prah encouraged collaboration between TVET institutions and industry partners, ensuring that students received practical training and employment opportunities.
As Prah bids farewell to the TVET Service, the staff and stakeholders alike wish him well. His resignation marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Service, and there’s optimism that the incoming Director-General will build upon Prah’s foundations with our full support.
The TVET Service is poised to welcome its new leader with open arms, and the staff is committed to offering their full support to ensure a seamless transition. As Prah embarks on his next journey, his legacy in the TVET sector will continue to inspire and motivate future generations of leaders and educators.
We salute David Prah for his tireless efforts and dedication to the TVET Service. His contributions will not be forgotten, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
