The Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Stigma in Developing Countries The Case of the Furniture Sector in Ghana
In Ghana the role and importance of technical and vocational education and training ( TVET) are not clearly understood by the citizenry. This has led to misconceptions and poor public image of TVET because many people still hold the view that TVET is good for students who cannot use their brains or students who do not qualify for admission into the universities. Consequently, furniture design and production programme at the pre- and tertiary levels institutions in Ghana are frowned upon even among technical and vocational graduates. This is indicated by the dwindling number of students patronizing wood work and furniture design programmes at these levels of training in recent times. The purpose of the study is the explore the nature and impact of TVET stigma on the performance of the furniture trade and the trend of enrolment in both Technical and Polytechnic institutions. Using convenience sampling technique, data were collected from graduates from pre-tertiary Technical and vocational institutions in the southern part of the country. The study revealed that guardian’s/parent’s dislike and low public image as some of the stigma for the furniture profession. Furthermore, less than 50% of the respondents would be motivated to opt for the programme even if an offer of full scholarship is made. The general negative societal perception about the furniture trade persist and that incites even graduates of technical and vocational institution not to opt for the programme.
