Abstract:
This study sought to examine factors influencing gender perception on Vocational Education in the Bolgatanga Technical University. Specifically, the study was set out to identify the perception of males towards vocational education in the University. A qualitative survey design approach was employed to select 200 respondents. Data were analysed through frequencies, percentages and means. For the analysis through the measure of dispersions, a 5-point Likert scale was employed for the closed-ended responses where 5-strongly agree, 4-agree, 3-uncertain, 2-disagree and 1-strongly disagree. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 was used to analyse the data. It was found out that respondents perceived that females perform better in vocational education programmes than males with the mean of 4.57 and 4.63 respectively. It was concluded that males generally pursue other technical programmes than enrolling in vocational education.
