TOKYO: The government plans to send more students abroad to pursue studies in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to strengthen the local TVET sector, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The Deputy Prime Minister said this was part of the government's transformation in the field of TVET, aimed at changing the perception that those pursuing such studies are academically disadvantaged.
