By 2026, undertake capacity building and refresher courses for lectures and teachers in TVET institutions. (MTNDP 2024-2030. p.103)

Status of Delivery

Minimal Progress

Julius Maada Bio

Target description

Structured pedagogy programs are being rolled out, using a cascading model where master trainers train district-level teachers, who then train others. This includes refresher courses and ongoing support. GIZ/EU TVET projects have been focused on upgrading teaching skills, curriculum delivery, and institutional management, with refresher workshops for instructors.

Target Baseline

" Refresher training was ad hoc, donor-driven, and not systematically coordinated by GoSL. Continuous capacity building and refresher training was not embedded in institutional planning; and GoSL training institutions lacked resources to provide continuous professional development."

Comment on Target

While the prioritization of teacher training is laid out in the new NCTVE Act 2025; including embedding capacity building and refresher courses into sector reforms; there are still gaps in achieving nationwide coverage and sustained teacher support across all TVET institutions. Monitoring and evaluation systems for teacher performance are still being developed.
