KANGAR: Applications to enrol in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes have seen significant increase to 229,000 participants from 25,000 two years ago, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The Deputy Prime Minister said the sharp rise reflected growing awareness among parents, SPM leavers and those unable to pursue higher education about the advantages of TVET, particularly its potential for high-paying careers.
