Applications for TVET programmes up 3.75% in last six months, says Zahid

PASIR MAS: Applications to join Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes have increased by 3.75% from January to June this year, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Ahmad Zahid, who is also National TVET Council chairman, said that this increase demonstrates that the perception and assumption that TVET is for individuals who have dropped out academically is not true but instead, it can become a primary career pathway for youths.
