Technical Universities Sample Clauses

Technical Universities. The Higher National Diploma training is typically comprised of both theoretical and practical aspects. At the HND level, the focus of the training tends to be on the practical aspects, which make up 60 percent of the courses. Theory then makes up the other 40 percent. Similar to the NVTI, the building and construction programmes attract younger students between the ages of 19 and 24. Some of the schools offer both fulltime modules, which are mostly filled by younger students, and part-time modules, which attract older workers. The minimum age for the part-time modules is 25. Some students drop out due to poor academic performance, personal reasons, financial issues, or apathy towards the course. These courses are also a male-dominated at a proportion of 90 percent men to 10 percent women. The gender disparity is due to the traditionally held beliefs that science and construction are challenging for women, and they women seek alternative education paths beginning in secondary school. Enrolment in various technical universities in Ghana has been increasing over the past five years, with the average enrolment ranging between 80 to 115 students per year at different institutions. The graduation rate is also high (approximately 90 percent), although the departments do recognize the still too high dropout rate of students. o ATU: 80 students out of 115 graduate every year o CCTU: Estimated graduation rate of 98 percent o TTU: From around 80 to 120 students per year, 90 percent end up completing their programmes Table 12: Overview of Technical University Programmes ATU Duration of Program Course Content Higher National Diploma (HND) in building and diploma Construction Technician course 3 YRS Mathematics, Communication Skills, Research Methods, Building Services, Human Relations, Computer Skills, Building Sciences, Building Drawings, Contract Administration, and Measurement of Building Works CCTU Higher National Diploma (HND) in building and a diploma programme in Estimating 3 YRS Construction Technology, Estimating, Contract Administration, Land Surveying or Geomatics, Engineering and Entrepreneurial Skills.
