While various initiatives to promote TVET have been executed throughout the years, engagement in national TVET programmes remains relatively low.
Technical and vocational education and training is a crucial component of the Malaysian education system, serving a linchpin role in bolstering national economic growth and employment.
Last year, Malaysia, according to the Unesco Institute for Statistics, saw only 6.1% of youth enrolment in TVET institutions, a low number when contrasted with its neighbours Singapore , South Korea and Indonesia .
“This is one of the factors that attract foreign investment and thus contributes towards a better economy for the country,” he told StarEdu. This, he said, could be caused by contributory social challenges such as financial hardships that result in the individual having to seek employment to support the family instead of acquiring knowledge and skills.
