The Education Ministry is in the process of reforming Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). A policy is being formulated to guide reform in the administration, operations, stakeholder involvement, funding and certification within the Council for TVET.
A release from the Govern-ment Information Agency (GINA) said that the policy document has as its vision statement ‘Education for Employment’ while its mission statement is ‘conceptualisation, coordination and/or delivery of modular competency based education and training, in order to create and/or sustain a workforce that is accredited to be internationally competitive’.
Earlier this year in March, a two-day stakeholder consultation was held to examine and amend the draft policy document.
