The Education Ministry has disclosed that government has allocated US$80,000 to equip vocational and technical institutions in the country.

Assistant Minister for Vocational and Technical Education told Star Radio the money is intended to purchase tools and other essentials for five institutions.

Mr. Yonton Kesseley said the institutions include the Zwedru and Voinjama Multilateral Schools.

According to Mr. Yonton, vocational and technical institutions in the country have not benefited from government’s allotment for the past two years.

He noted that the allotment would go a long way in making the institutions more viable and responsive.

Assistant Minister Yonton further said plans are under way to reactivate vocational and technical institutions that have been dormant over the years.
