    "content": "I will next respond to Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s recommendation. Right now, our universities have a TVET institution within them. We, therefore, have students who go to a university, but are actually in the TVET. This means that those students are absorbed for those courses in those universities. It has been said that we have a number of young people between the age of 18 and 35 who are neither in formal school nor in formal employment. They are the ones who are out here. The TVETs are supposed to absorb and remove them from the streets. If we do so, we will skill them and they will play a role in the economy. We will then have plumbers, electricians and engineers. They can later progress their studies. We are also offering many other IT programmes in that space. In fact, the issue of enrollment to TVETs is being spearheaded in conjunction with National Government Administration Officers (NGAO). That is because we are using an all-of-government approach. When these officers go to barazas, they tell the parents what is important and the usefulness of the courses being offered by those institutions."
