    "content": "In the recent selection of colleges and universities among the 2019 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates who scored C+ and above, hence qualifying to enroll for university degrees, 2,632 chose to join TVET for technical diploma courses. This is laudable. In developing countries, TVET plays two major roles in national sustainable development. One is to provide training opportunities and career advancement avenues for the increased school leavers and, two, to provide skilled manpower at all levels. Mr. Speaker, Sir, during this time, we notice that students who even qualify to join universities preferred to join TVET. The skills developed should lead to self-reliance in the absence of salaried employment and enhance industrialization. The United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda 2030 identifies TVET as a key action area in pursuit of sustainable development goals (SDGs) of education and that of decent work and economic growth. For TVET to be effective, the Government has to renovate and reinvent to ensure an enabling environment nationwide. Considering the continuous complex changes and development in the global context, including competition for resources, investments and markets, it is important to ensure quality in every aspect of TVET delivery. This, therefore, calls for the need to review TVET polices for quality assurance and better management."
