TVET is “Non-academic technical education and practical training that develop the skills and knowledge of apprentices (learners of trades or crafts) working in different sectors of industry. #girlseducation #educationinafrica #tveteducation @PC4W_Academy

TVET education system provides courses and training programmes related to employment to enable the transition from Secondary Education to work for young trainees/students & supply the labour market with competent apprentices #girlseducation @victorienkarfo

"Human resource development through TVET not only contributes to economic development and reduction in unemployment but also leads to enhancement of social inclusion" Ngugi and Muthima. #educationinAfrica #girlseducation #tveteducation @koekiero

Metalwork, Carpentry, Technical Graphics, Building/Construction, Automotive Fashion and Fabrics and Food and Nutrition Education became a part of mainstream secondary education and these are some of TVET focused subjects amongst many #girlseducation #tveteducation @blessedCathy11

TVET Education is seen as a tool to eradicate poverty it has the potential but much of the curriculum is outdated and is not evolving with the global market hence it falls short. Many girls are enrolling in TVET School but we need more to learn. #girleducation #tveteducation
