    "content": "As I indicated, we have modularized those programmes. Therefore, students can come in and out. Remember when TVETs were formed, they were supposed to absorb the students who were not going to universities. In 2024/2025, we had a total of 375,000 students in TVETs when the student admission to universities was at 22 per cent. The universities had almost 800,000 students. So, the pyramid was inverted; we had more students in universities than in TVETs. We should have more students in TVETs than universities. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we started a programme of increasing the enrollment of the students and we targeted above one million. We started in January this year and have raised the enrollment from 375,000 to almost 700,000. They are all in college. We do admissions in January, May and in every quarter. So, there is enough space to admit students who do not go to universities in our institutions, in both TVETs and VTCs."
