Entry to pre-employment TVET programmes may occur upon completion of lower secondary
education, and entry to higher-level TVET and to higher education may occur upon completion of
upper secondary education. There are 18 different ministries responsible for the delivery of these
programmes, and there is an unknown but increasing number of private providers. Some TVET
programmes require intensive full-time studies and provide pathways to a degree. Others focus
on short-term skills training, as in pre-employment programmes for school leavers. The Ministry of
Science and Technology (MOST) is the largest of the public TVET providers. It supports a network
of technical high schools and vocational schools. Other ministries are more inclined to focus on
short-term training programmes related to their areas of specific specialist need and portfolio
interest. Little is known about where students who complete TVET programmes find employment,
or about whether the knowledge and skills they acquire during their studies are even relevant to
their future workplaces.
