TVET Sector Support Programme dummy

Objective

To improve governance and private sector participation in the TVET sector in order to enhance access to quality skills development that meets the demands of the labour market


Introduction

Pakistan’s technical and vocational education and training (TVET) system is confronted with numerous challenges in the area of access, quality, equity and relevance. Annually 2.4million young people enter the job market, but as of 2015 there are only 476,850 places available in formal TVET through 3,581 institutes across the country. Apart from this mismatch between demand and supply even quality and relevance of the training delivered is not according to the demands of the job market while there is limited cooperation between the public and private sector as far as TVET governance and delivery is concerned. To improve access, quality, equity and relevance of TVET, the Government of Pakistan has embarked upon a comprehensive reform in 2011 with the support of the European Union and the governments of the Germany, Netherlands and Norway. The first phase of the reform, which is based on the National Skills Strategy (NSS), has ended in December 2016. During this period a number of milestones have been achieved such as national TVET policy, National Vocational Qualifications Framework (NVQF) and Competency Based Training & Assessment (CBT&A) etc. The second phase of the TVET Sector Support Programme has been started from January 2017 for another five years. The Programme is supported by the European Union, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Royal Norwegian Embassy.
