Some Female Prisoners of the Nsawam on Wednesday, 1st July 2026 sat for the the National Vocational Training Institute (NVTI) Proficiency I, Grade II examinations to demonstrate that education is not a privilege to the freed.
It attests that Ghana Prisons Service is committed to rehabilitation through vocational skills and development.
The candidates were made up of eight inmates in tailoring, one in tie and dye, one in bead designing, and one in event decoration.
The examinations provide the inmates with an opportunity to earn nationally recognised certificates in their respective trades, enhancing their employability and equipping them with practical skills for self-reliance upon release.
The Administration has reaffirmed its commitment to creating opportunities that promote education, skills acquisition and personal development. It also wished the candidates success in their examinations and expressed confidence in their ability to excel.
The initiative forms part of the Service’s broader rehabilitation agenda aimed at preparing inmates for successful reintegration into society.
