THE transformation of vocational training in Malaysia through the Education Ministry’s Technical and Vocational Education Division (BPTV) is slowly but surely yielding results.

The Vocational Education Transformation programme that began in 2012 to elevate the prestige of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) is in line with the thrust of the First Shift of the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025, which is about ensuring equitable access to world-class quality education.
