Over 55,000 Students Set to Write 2025 Certificate II TVET Exams – CTVET Boss
More than 55,295 students are expected to sit for the 2025 Certificate II Examinations under Ghana’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system, the Commission for TVET (CTVET) has announced.
The figure, which includes 40,339 males and 14,956 females, marks a significant milestone in the nation’s drive to produce a skilled, confident, and work-ready youth through technical education.
Addressing the media ahead of the exams, CTVET Director General Zakaria Sulemana described the annual assessment not just as an academic requirement but a national marker of progress in human capital development.

“These numbers reflect the growing trust that Ghanaian youth and families have in TVET as a dignified and dependable pathway to education, employment, and entrepreneurship,” he stated.
The Certificate II Examinations serve as a gateway for learners to transition into the workforce or continue advanced technical training. The exams test students’ competence in practical areas such as construction, fashion, electricals, catering, welding, and mechanical work—aligning education with real-world demands.
Mr Sulemana stressed that CTVET is fully committed to maintaining the integrity and fairness of the 2025 exams. Several robust measures have been instituted to safeguard the process:
- Strengthened invigilation and supervision at all centres
- Real-time monitoring systems for compliance tracking
- Serialisation of test questions to prevent cheating
- Collaboration with security agencies, including the Ghana Police
- Orientation for supervisors and candidates to reinforce ethical practices
He emphasized that examination malpractice will not be tolerated and swift action will be taken against any breaches.
A major innovation in this year’s exams is the implementation of test serialisation—a process where the same questions are reordered across multiple versions of the test. According to the director general, this system significantly reduces the risk of cheating and “apor” (leaked questions).
“Serialisation strengthens test security, enhances fairness, and preserves the credibility of certificates issued to all candidates,” Mr Sulemana said.
Each student receives a version of the paper that differs in sequence, making it difficult to cheat while still assessing the same content and outcomes.
Highlighting the broader impact of TVET, the Director General reiterated that technical education is central to Ghana’s economic transformation, job creation, and industrialisation agenda.
“Globally, the most resilient economies are those that prioritise skills development. In Ghana, we are committed to ensuring that TVET is relevant, accessible, and of the highest quality,” he noted.
