| Summary: | Malaysia s technical and vocational
training (TVET) program is born out of a combination of
ambition and necessity. The country has recorded impressive
economic growth over several decades, bolstering ambitions
that it should make the transition from middle- to
high-income by transforming to a knowledge (K) economy.
Vision 2020, announced by then Prime Minister Mahathir
Mohamad, was to give substance to this plan. The need to
make this transformation was driven home by a deceleration
of this growth after the Asian Financial Crisis at the turn
of the century followed by the Global Financial Crisis a
decade later and has galvanized the country s leaders to
action to bolster its human capital. TVET can play an
important role in Malaysia s transformation to a knowledge economy. |
