The Manager of TVET Standards at the Namibia Training Authority is concerned over the education system's treatment of informal and non-formal education.

Stakeholders in the Erongo Region have called for the inclusion of the creative arts and crafts industry in Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET).

Technical and Vocational Education Training stakeholders in Erongo have supported the proposal to recognise non-formal and informal education and have it introduced at the lower primary level.

Associate Professor in the Department of Economics, Accounting and Finance at NUST, Teresia Kaulihowa, questioned whether the current budget allocation will be sufficient to improve and expand Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).

The Minister of Higher Education, Technology and Innovation, Dr. Itah Kandjii-Murangi says Technical and Vocational Education and Training have the potential to lower unemployment and alleviate poverty.

The government is constructing more Vocational Training Centres in Kunene, Kavango West, ||Kharas and Oshikoto regions so that more learners could pursue their studies through TVET.

Nineteen students were awarded a national vocational certificate in community counseling services at the Heritage Management Institute in Windhoek.

Institutions offering technical and vocational training in Namibia will now be able to speak with one voice.

This comes after the establishment of the Association of Technical and Vocational Education Training Institutions in Namibia.
