The Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, has commenced the construction of eight Science, Technical and Vocational (STV) schools in the state, starting with the Government Technical College (GTC) Enugu.
 
This was made known by the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ndubueze Mbah, during inspection of work at the GTC, Enugu, yesterday, adding that there would be three models of the STV schools focusing on Science and Technology; Building and Architecture, as well as Industrial Agriculture.
 
He regretted that the GTC, Enugu, had lost its glory, reiterating the determination of the Mbah administration to refocus the youths on science, technical and vocational education underlined by practical learning to help them fit into the 21st century industry.
 
“As you could see, this historic institution, established in 1948, has lost its former glory. The buildings all around us are in different stages of dilapidation.
 
“But we are happy to share with Ndi Enugu the good news that the state government has already embarked on a very audacious education reform project to establish eight brand new Science, Technical, and Vocational Schools servicing SS1 to SS3 in the STVSMB category of schools, starting with GTC.”
 
“The governor believes that we are now in a new age of industry and technology. So, we want to bring back the lost glory of GTC by making sure that it reflects the new opportunities and realities of industrialisation, of economic development, and of youth empowerment.”
