Polytechnic education in Ghana : the case of the HND estate management programme
Boakye-Agyeman, Naana Amakie
Polytechnic education has contributed significantly to the development process of the country. In the field of surveying, which requires technicians to collect and analyse field data for effective decision making, the polytechnics have contributed immensely through the training of technicians, especially, in building technology and estate management. The continued training of the estate management professional is crucial to the success of land administration especially at a time when Ghana is implementing its Land Administration Project. In this respect, quality assurance in students enrolled onto the programme, academic staff and facilities as well as strong partnership with industry would be needed to improve the training of technicians for the real estate industry. This paper focuses on the current state of polytechnic education in Ghana in relation to the training of the estate management technician. It also takes a look at some of the challenges involved in the training of the technician and prospects for improving the quality of training to enhance their job delivery.
