Togo : Master plan for dual education system is being validated

(Togo First) - Togo’s ministry of technical education and professional training has initiated last Tuesday, processes to validate the master plan for professional dual education system in the country.

Launched to efficiently tackle underemployment and unemployment, this system combines apprenticeships in a company, at a vocational school or at a teaching school (high school, college). It aims to provide a solution to the imbalance between courses offered in schools and requirements in the job market.

According to the deputy director of the statistics, research and planning office, at the above-mentioned ministry, Koku Adjaklo, “the validation of the master plan for professional dual education is a milestone in the search for sustainable solutions to the challenges of underemployment and unemployment”.

For now, the system which is backed by German cooperation GIZ, integrates only a limited number of professions. However, the government wishes to remedy this and expand it to all professional bodies. After the pilot stage in Tsévié, Kpalimé and Sokodé, the project will be extended to other towns such as Atakpamé, Kara and Dapaong.
