THIMPHU, 20 April, 2021 (TON):  According to the Bhutanese Labor Secretary Sonam Wangchuk, the Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) reforms which are part of the government’s overhauling of the sector will be ready by June.

The interim TVET reform office with the Prime Minister’s Office returned the TVET programme to the labor and human resources ministry to implement the reform after almost two years.

In 2019, the government initiated TVET reforms and the PMO took over the TVET program from the ministry.

The official said that it aims to transform the TVET system into attractive learning and career choice although the secretary did not mention the TVET program being handed back.

The ministry prepared the deployment of the master trainers in February.

Accordingly, master trainers would be provided in fields like timber frame construction and building insulation, landscape design and management, and building painting.
