Enrollment figures released by the technical and vocational education authority show continued growth for a fourth consecutive year, a trend officials attribute to sustained government promotion of skills-based training as an alternative to the traditional university pathway.
Sectors seeing the strongest enrollment growth include construction trades, ICT-related technical courses, and agricultural technology programs.
Policy Context
The growth follows several years of government messaging encouraging students to consider TVET pathways, alongside expanded funding support for TVET institutions compared to previous funding cycles.
