Technical Vocational Education And Training (TVET)

This is an area of study that promotes and oversees learning experiences and training that equip learners with relevant skills to manipulate their natural and man-made environment to create a platform for sustainable community and national development.

TVET prescribes lifelong learning and covers Primary, Junior High, Senior High, Tertiary levels, Work-based learning as well as Continuing Training and Professional Development which may lead to certification and qualification. The national agenda is therefore to develop a Common Core Curricula that embeds TVET areas at the pre-tertiary levels as well as programmes to train students of Tertiary Institutions who have chosen to teach at the Primary and JHS Levels.

Presbyterian Women’s College of Education has traditionally been majoring in Visual Arts and Home Economics which are all aspects of TVET. Currently, the JHS programme offered in the college is Home Economics. It is however hopeful that the Department will mount the Visual Arts progamme in the near future to augment the interrelatedness of both aspects.

There is a structured training and assessment system that allows student teachers to acquire skills and knowledge and attitudes required to teach so as to meet specified criteria and for certification and the achievement of relevant competencies that meet global standards.

TEACHING AND LEARNING:
The department has also been honoured to have experienced lecturers, who are given the opportunity to provide professional guidance and support to new entrants by facilitating coaching, mentoring, and supervision through face-to-face and other relevant interventions.
Student performance has been very impressive since the inception of the TVET programme, Student Teachers are adequately equipped with relevant tools, materials, equipment and other support systems that encourage creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem solving, communication and collaboration, digital literacy as well as leadership skills needed for professional development, community and national development as well as global integration.

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
The department has formed a club known as HOME MAKERS CLUB.
This is to equip student teachers with entrepreneurial skills and training necessary to make them employable, enhance their livelihoods, creation of wealth.
For example: Bread making, Pattern making, millinery, floral arrangements, preparation of detergents, snail rearing and mushroom production.
Students are also trained on using waste materials for usable articles.
