PETALING JAYA: Hands-on practice will make up 70% of the content in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) courses so that students are more employable upon graduation, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

“We suggested that only 30% of lessons in a TVET course takes place in the classroom while 70% of the learning is done at workshops, labs or workplaces so students can get as much exposure (in their respective field).
