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 the inspection of work at the GTC, Enugu, on Wednesday, adding that there would be three models of the STV Schools focusing on Science and Technology; Building and Architecture; and Industrial Agriculture.

He regretted that the GTC, Enugu, had lost its glory, reiterating the determination of the Mbah Administration to refocus the state’s young people 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 Enugu 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 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, economic development, and youth empowerment.

“We will establish one new STV school in each of the eight federal constituencies in Enugu State over the next two years. The very first is being sited at this historic location, GTC, Enugu.

“There will be three models of the Science Technical and Vocational schools. The first model is focusing on science and technology. These are schools that are going to train our young people who have finished basic schools and the Enugu Smart Green Schools, as well as graduates who have no job. We are going to train them in the areas of emerging technology, preparing them to be ready for industry, the areas of robotics, mechatronics, coding, programming, ICT, and others to get these young people ready for industry.

“The other model is the School of Building and Architecture. These are vocational schools where our children will learn all components of the building – from bricklaying to electricals, plumbing, and roofing, among others. We will manufacture our materials in these schools, and we will build.

“The third model is the Science Technical and Vocational School of Industrial Agriculture,” he said.
Prof Mbah also announced the government’s plan to build a smart green school at the GTC, Enugu, premises to ensure students have an easy pathway to science, technical, and vocational education in this same environment.

He said the initiative reflected the administration’s 33 percent allocation to the education sector in the Enugu State 2024 budget, adding that the government also planned to build smart secondary schools across the state.

“We have model senior secondary schools that are also smart schools that are forthcoming. And there is also historic milestone investment in our tertiary institutions. So, this is once again a very important milestone in achieving the educational reform vision of Governor Mbah for Enugu State,” he concluded.
