History of Dabokpa Vocational Technical Institute
The present Dabokpa Technical / Vocational Institute evolved since the 1960s. The school started as Girls Boarding Middle School. It later became a Home Science Centre for schools around the catchment area. In the late 1970s, the Home Science Centre was faced out and a Vocational School was established, in conjunction with a World Bank pilot project for the Tailors and Dressmakers Association. During this era, the student population dwindled due to the facing out of the Home Science programme.
In the early 1980s, the school became a Vocational / Technical Institute, offering N.V.T.I. programmes like Needlework and Dressmaking. The technical programs were carpentry and joinery, Blocklaying and Concreting, Fashion and Design.
In 1998 the school became a fully-fledged Technical Institute, and since then the population has had a tremendous increase
