Funding for TVET must match ambition

AS preparations for the 2026 national budget enter the final stages, I urge our policymakers (particularly the Finance Ministry) to take a closer look at the funding allocated for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).

While the government has shown commitment to this sector, most notably through the formation of the new TVET Commission, more needs to be done, especially in terms of financial support for trainees.
