Overview

Ho Technical University, formerly Ho Polytechnic, is a public tertiary institution in the Volta Region of Ghana. The Polytechnic started in 1968 as a technical institute with the primary goal of providing pre-technical education. By 1972, the Institute made tremendous progress and upgraded its courses. In 1986, the institution was upgraded into a Polytechnic. However, it was not until 1993 that it got full backing of the law to become a fully-fledged tertiary institution, charged with the responsibility of training students to the Higher National Diploma (HND) and Degree Levels. The Polytechnic Law was replaced in September 2007 by the Polytechnics Act. Ho Technical University is one of the premier national tertiary institutions in the Volta Region. The Motto of the University is Adanu Nazu kekeli which means Adanu become light.
