TVET
Sector Support Programme
Supporting Technical and Vocational Education and Training
in Pakistan
INTRODUCTION
•
Energy, agriculture and human capital are some of Pakistan’s
potentials, which have not yet been sufficiently used due to lack of
required skilled workforce.
•
Nearly 27% of the youth complete secondary education and a very
small percentage acquire employable skills. A major portion of the youth
drifts off into the informal sector and learns various vocational skills
through the traditional Ustad-Shagird system.
•
Annually 1.8 million young people enter the job market, but as of 2018
there are only 433,237 places available in the formal TVET through
3,740 institutes across Pakistan. 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.
•
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 European Union and the governments of
Germany and Norway.
