KUALA LUMPUR: An overhaul of Malaysia’s Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) is needed, says a Khazanah Research Insti­tute (KRI) report. The German dual training system could be evaluated and applied accordingly here, she said. It is often claimed that students and their parents see TVET as “inferior education” meant for the academically challenged. The maximum salary reported by public sector employers for TVET workers was about RM3,000 less than for university graduates, and RM500 more than for SPM holders. Malaysian Employers Federation executive director Datuk Shamsud­din Bardan said existing TVET programmes must be continuously reviewed.
