Call To Improve Vocational Schools
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - The number of students undergoing courses in vocational schools should match those who opted for academic studies at secondary education, educationists said.

They said in developed countries the ratio is roughly equal.

They added that plans must be drafted to build up more vocational schools including offering the private sector to open up such institutions because many job opportunities are available in vocational fields.

"At present we are totally dependent on huge number of foreign workers to provide the vocational skills because our school leavers were not trained for such expertise."

They added the curriculum of vocational school must also be improved which require such institutions to provide entrepreneurial skills courses for students at all levels so they could run their own businesses instead of becoming employees after graduation. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
