He noted that the initiative aligns directly with the Education Regulatory Bodies Act, 2020 (Act 1049), which established dual educational pathways for Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) graduates to pursue either mainstream secondary education or specialized TVET tracks designed to accelerate employment opportunities.




"In reforming the service, there is a vital need to emphasize the importance of sports education in contributing to national development," Dr. Adzroe stated. He encouraged participating students to fully leverage the practical and professional knowledge acquired through TVET to build sustainable futures wherever they find themselves.
