The Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (CTVET) has announced that the 2023 May/June Certificate II Examinations for Technical students will be serialised.
This is set to, among others, reduce the perennial leakages of examination questions and ensure fairness, test security and integrity of certificates.
Speaking to 3news.com, Director-General of the Commission Dr Fred Kyei Asamoah said the move is not to punish students but to ensure that merit is awarded.
“Examinations are awards,” he stressed in the interaction on Monday, July 3.
“We are supposed to award students not to punish them and we can only award people who have done a good work and are prepared to take the next mantle.
“We cannot award people who are not prepared and they are given award for no work done.”
He insisted that Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has become a major source of workforce for major government programmes like One-District One-Factory and Planting for Food and Jobs and so the certificates to be carried by graduates must be of high integrity.
“We want to improve on the integrity of our TVET certification because an effective and robust TVET system is what can change our economy no matter what we do with all the investments that is coming in.”
The exams begin on Monday, July 10 and end on Friday, August 4.
“For this year’s exams, we will have eight versions of the exams [and] for each class, a set of eight students will have different versions of the exams with the same blueprint, with the same content but different positions and different options.”
Dr Kyei Asamoah expressed optimism that the objective of the Commission as regards the innovation will be achieved.
