• Global focus on general basic education and
hence underinvestment in TVET;
• Poor technical and institutional capacity of
formal TVET systems, including teachers;
• Low social perception and status of TVET;
• A weak analytical knowledge base resulting
from a lack of investment in research;
• A lack of collaboration and communication
between industry and TVET institutions;
• Patchwork-type policy responses rather than
long-term strategic reforms; and
• Imported or borrowed policy without
adequate contextualization
• Expanding and diversifying
access;
• Expanding work-based
learning and cooperation
with businesses; and
• Enhancing the quality and
relevance of TVET curricula
and service delivery
