Lack of focus on skills development and alignment with national manpower needsNot immune to challenges
Responding to national aspirations (SPN-21 and Wawasan 2035)
Department of Technical Education (DTE) system no longer relevant or responsive in a modern-day competitive economy
Challenge is to build a first-class post-secondary technical education institution
TVET SYSTEM CASE FOR CHANGE
9
RATIONALE FORTRANSFORMATION
Department of Technical (DTE) was established in 1993
DTE is no longer relevant and responsive to the rapid changes in global environment
Lack of focus on skills development and alignment with national manpower needs
A need of a new system of governance to stay relevant and responsive
..In this regard, it is also appropriate for the Ministry of Education to re-assess the position of technical and vocational education to ensure that this education can contribute to the requirements of industries and employment for locals..
