I HAVE been keeping up with Human Resources Minister M. Kulasegaran’s efforts to promote greater interest in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) among our youths. He has done well in getting more industrial players to provide attachment training to students whereby employment opportunities are greatly enhanced.
Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik has also chipped in to further encourage TVET by suggesting a change of name for this course to attract more students to take it up. The Education Ministry will also be collaborating with other ministries to give greater recognition to TVET qualifications by amalgamating all TVET institutions under one accredited body.
