The Programme Manager of the TVET Conference, Jerry Beukes, has expressed concern over the private and public technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions not embracing new technology and innovation.

Beukes said this at the opening of the week-long GIZ Pro TVET Conference in Windhoek on Monday.

Beukes says it is sad that the Namibian TVET context still requires developing first-revolution lower-skilled occupational trades such as welders and boilermakers.
