Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Authority (TEVETA)

The Government of Zmabia has identified the need to formulate a broader national policy on technical education and vocational training. The aim of the policy is to improve technical education and vocational training and link it to the requirements of the employment sector. The new policy is broader in three aspects: First, it incorporates entrepreneurship development - for this reason, the Policy will be known as the technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training (TEVET) policy. Second, the new policy encompasses all types of technical education and vocational training like nursing, agriculture, community development and engineering. Third, it covers training being conducted at all levels in both the formal and informal sector.

TEVETAs' general function is to regulate, coordinate and monitor technical education, vocational and entrepreneurship training in consultation with industry, employers, employees and other stakeholders.
