3 Vocational Schools

We take a look at three under appreciated but critically important vocational schools. Keys to fabrication and industrialization.
Firstly the Centre Sainte Famille ,Burkina Faso which:
...is a factory combined with a technical vocational training centre .It provides assistance to agricultural schools along with in-house instruction in carpentry and ironwork. Graduates receive a toolbox and certification.
While the Selam Technical School,Ethiopia asserts that:
...the vast majority of Ethiopians are living in the countryside where modern technology has not reached. Manufacturing of low cost and simple operation equipment through appropriate technology is the only option to meet the immediate needs of these people.
And lastly Centre Technique de Garoua (CTG),Cameroon which:
...trains young people from the street in basic skills (sewing, metal-works, car mechanics) linked to workshops to produce clothes and textiles, of agricultural tools and machines, and to do car maintenance.
