    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was trying to hurry through the Statement to beat time. Thank you for that allowance of some more minutes. Innovation is key. First, there needs to be substantial change in the curriculum materials used, selection of trainers and training to ensure TVET progressively responds to evolving labour demands. Our young people have gone ahead and observed this before the system of Government policies does by deciding on their own volition to choose TVET courses instead of university courses. Deployment of organizational practices is crucial to support innovation in this Sector which plays a significant role including the well-being of workers, enhanced productively, international competitiveness and economic growth. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second issue is proper values and attitudes must be aligned to the national ethos. The TVET has traditionally been thought to be a relatively unattractive educational option compared to higher education. There is a serious need to address disparities of esteem between the TVET and general education by demonstrating to and educating the public on the benefits of TVET. The TVETs have a particular advantage for developing countries that are moving rapidly up the value chain as it allows the occupational change and mobility and provides infrastructure to cope with these changes.
