Vocational education and training has received greater attention globally now than in the past. It spurs a nation's growth towards industrialization, contributes to almost immediate employment and develops entrepreneurship that is catalyst to the growth of many small and medium size industries. In Malaysia, vocational and technical education is the focus of the government in RMK-10 and in the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) because it is the way forward for our country to be competitive in this region.
It has been proven that vocational or skill education has enabled graduates to secure jobs easily and their salaries are comparable to Diploma and Degree holders from Polytechnics and Institutes of Higher Learning. The skill education pathway provides an almost equal opportunity for anyone to pursue a skill qualification equivalent to Degree level. This information must be conveyed to parents and students.
In Malaysia, we may have the infrastructure however we lack competent workforce. Hence the constant demand for skilled workforce in the industry. I believe that we can become a developed country like Germany, Japan or Korea or achieve the 'high income economy' status if we give more importance to vocational education.
