Putra Jaya: The image of Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) is no longer viewed as second class education, but rather the opposite, namely a career path for the nation's youth, says Youth and Sports Minister, Khairy Jamaluddin.He said, previously, TVET was often viewed negatively - only for youths who were backward, in that they had failed to finish their schooling until form five; expelled from school or had attended juvenile correction centres."However, with continued empowerment from the government and industrial recognition for those who follow TVET, it has become an easy career path for youths in terms of its marketability as compared to university graduates," he said.
