Dormaa-Ahenkro (Brong Ahafo), 10th July 99 —
The Dormaa Vocational Training Centre enrolled 170 students this year as against 153 students last year.
The increase in the enrolment is due to the desire of the youth to acquire vocational skills towards self-reliance, Mr Asamoah Yortoe, manager of the centre told the GNA in an interview at Dormaa-Ahenkro on Thursday.
He said the vocational centre, which offers courses in masonry, carpentry and electrical installations, has a total enrolment of 360 students with 17 teachers.
Mr Tortoe appealed to the Dormaa District Assembly for building materials towards the construction of four additional classroom blocks and urged the assembly to award contracts to the centre to enable it to get funds to be self-supporting.
The Vocational Centre has through its own efforts raised some funds to construct a security post and to rehabilitate some of its classrooms and workshops.
